Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
This concurrent resolution directs the President to end the use of U.S. Armed Forces in active hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes a declaration of war or specific military force. The measure allows the President to keep troops in the region for defensive purposes and to protect against imminent attacks, while also preserving intelligence collection and sharing activities. It clarifies that the resolution does not authorize new military force but rather terminates ongoing combat operations under the War Powers Resolution.
