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 mandates the removal of United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It asserts that Congress has the sole power to declare war and has not provided specific authorization for the current military actions, which are deemed to constitute hostilities under the War Powers Resolution. The resolution highlights that ongoing offensive operations against Iranian targets risk escalating regional conflict and retaliation against U.S. forces and allies. However, the resolution includes specific provisions that clarify what it does not prevent . It explicitly allows the United States to continue: defending against attacks on U.S. personnel or facilities; collecting, analyzing, and sharing intelligence related to threats from Iran or its proxies; and assisting partner countries attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026, by intercepting retaliatory attacks or providing defensive materiel support. These exceptions ensure that defensive measures and support for allies remain permissible.
