Directing the President, pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, to comply with the 60-day use of force and 30-day phased withdrawal requirements regarding the use of the United States Armed Forces in Operation Epic Fury in Iran.
This bill directs the President to comply with the War Powers Resolution regarding the use of U.S. military forces in "Operation Epic Fury" in Iran. It requires the President to terminate military involvement in Iran within 60 days of the operation's start (February 28, 2026). Following this, a phased withdrawal of U.S. Armed Forces from Iran must commence within 30 days. The 60-day period can be paused if the U.S. is engaged in cease-fire negotiations or has entered into a cease-fire with Iran. This directive aims to limit presidential military action in Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress or under specific defensive circumstances.
