A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution asserts that Congress holds the sole power to declare war under the Constitution, yet no such declaration or specific authorization for military force has been enacted for operations within or against Iran. It highlights the Trump administration's launch of "Operation Epic Fury" on February 28, 2026, which introduced over 50,000 U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities against the Government of Iran, resulting in casualties and being repeatedly referred to as a "war" by administration officials.

Consequently, the resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from these unauthorized hostilities within or against Iran, leveraging expedited procedures outlined in the Department of State Authorization Act and the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act. However, it explicitly states that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from

• defending against attacks on its personnel or facilities
• collecting and sharing intelligence
• assisting partner countries in intercepting retaliatory attacks or providing defensive materiel support
