SJRES 183 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. military forces from ongoing hostilities against Iran that were not authorized by Congress. The bill specifically targets Operation Epic Fury, launched in February 2026, which involved air and missile strikes inside Iran without prior congressional approval or consultation. While ordering troop withdrawal, the resolution allows the United States to continue defending itself and its allies from Iranian attacks, gather intelligence on Iranian threats, and provide defensive support to partner nations like Israel. The measure is based on Congress's constitutional authority to declare war and the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional consultation before introducing armed forces into hostilities.
