This resolution directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes such action through a declaration of war or a military-force authorization. It carves out exceptions allowing troops to defend themselves, U.S. diplomatic posts, or allied nations from an imminent attack, and permits a continued regional troop presence for defensive purposes only. Intelligence sharing and counterintelligence work involving Iran-related threats would continue unaffected. The resolution does not itself authorize any military action — it is solely a directive to end unauthorized hostilities.
