This concurrent resolution directs the President, under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran or any part of its government or military. The text says removal includes potential ground forces in a combat role or used for occupation unless Congress declares war or specifically authorizes use of military force against Iran. The resolution also says it does not stop the United States from defending itself, its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack; does not stop maintaining a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes; and does not force removal of forces in the region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran. The resolution states it does not affect intelligence collection, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran or nearby countries, if the President determines sharing is appropriate. It also says the resolution does not authorize the use of military force. The resolution was introduced by Representative Valerie Foushee on May 13, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
If enacted, the resolution would direct the President to end U.S. military participation in hostilities with Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes such force. The text preserves the ability to act in self-defense, to keep troops in the region for defensive purposes, and to continue intelligence activities related to threats from Iran. The resolution itself does not create a new authorization for military force.
