Introduced by a member from Illinois, this resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to end U.S. military involvement in hostilities with Iran unless Congress has declared war or passed a specific authorization for the use of force. Troops could still act in self-defense, protect diplomatic personnel, or defend allied countries facing an imminent attack, and a defensive troop presence in the region could continue. The resolution leaves intelligence-gathering, intelligence analysis, and intelligence-sharing with coalition partners untouched. It makes clear that nothing in the text should be read as granting new authority to use military force against Iran.
