SJRES 172 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that were not authorized by Congress. The bill is based on the constitutional power of Congress to declare war and cites the War Powers Resolution as the legal framework for this action. It specifically orders the withdrawal of troops from the ongoing conflict that began in February 2026, while allowing the U.S. to continue defensive actions, intelligence gathering, and assistance to allied nations. The resolution also permits the evacuation of American citizens and defensive support for partner countries attacked by Iran or its proxies.
