Transparency & AccountabilityTroops would leave the fight with Iran unless Congress approves the war — self-defense would go on.
Transparency & Accountability
Congress has not voted to approve the fight with Iran that began on February 28, 2026. Only a vote for war, or one that names this fight, could keep it going.
More about this bill
If someone in your family is deployed to the fight with Iran, this resolution could pull them out of it. It directs the President to remove American troops from combat with Iran. The fighting could go on only if Congress votes to allow it. That means a declaration of war or a vote that approves this specific fight. Most people would see no change in daily life. The fighting started on February 28, 2026, when the Trump administration launched a campaign called Operation Epic Fury. The resolution notes that seven American service members had been killed by March 9, 2026. Congress has not voted to authorize the campaign. Some military action would continue. Troops could still defend against attacks on Americans or American sites abroad. They could keep sharing intelligence with allies, including Israel. They could help countries that Iran has struck defend themselves. They could also help Americans caught in the fighting get out.
Congressional Summary
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran 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 against an attack on the United States or its personnel or facilities in other nations.
