Congress's say over war with Iran — keeping troops fighting needs a vote

The fighting with Iran could go on only if Congress votes for it. Lawmakers would have to declare war or pass a bill that approves the mission.

Deadline to end fighting with Iran — March 30, 2026

Congress says the fighting with Iran started on February 28, 2026. The resolution runs a 30-day clock, so U.S. forces would have to be out of the fighting by March 30, 2026.

More about this bill

Nothing here changes your money, your taxes, or any service you use. It is about who decides whether the United States keeps fighting Iran. Congress finds that U.S. forces began fighting Iran on February 28, 2026. The resolution would direct the President to pull those forces out of the fighting within 30 days. That deadline is March 30, 2026. The fighting could go on only if Congress declares war or votes to approve the mission. Troops could still defend themselves, U.S. embassies, and allies from an attack that is about to happen. The military could stay in the region for defense. Spying and intelligence sharing about Iran would go on as before. The resolution also calls Iran a leading state sponsor of terrorism. Both the House and the Senate must agree for it to take effect.

Congressional Summary

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or any part of its government or military no later than March 30, 2026, unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack.
