This resolution calls on the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran under the authority Congress holds through the War Powers Resolution, unless lawmakers separately declare war or authorize the use of force. It preserves the military's ability to defend U.S. personnel, diplomatic facilities, and allied nations from an imminent attack, and allows a defensive troop presence to remain in the region. Ongoing intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners relating to Iran-linked threats would not be affected. The resolution explicitly states it does not authorize any use of military force on its own.
