This concurrent resolution directs the President, under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It allows an exception for forces that may be necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from an imminent attack, but only if the President fully follows the War Powers Resolution section 5(b) requirements for any such defensive use. The resolution also says forces may remain only if Congress explicitly authorizes the use of military force or declares war.
If both chambers adopt this concurrent resolution, it instructs the President to remove forces engaged in hostilities with Iran except for limited defensive uses described in the resolution. The text does not specify timing, troop numbers, or how the removal would be carried out.
