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 the Islamic Republic of Iran or parts of its government or military. It says removal includes possible ground forces in a combat role or used for occupation unless Congress explicitly authorizes the use of force by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.
The resolution includes three listed exceptions: (1) it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from an imminent attack; (2) it does not prevent maintaining a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes; and (3) it does not require removal of U.S. forces in the region that are not engaged in hostilities against Iran. The resolution also states it should not influence or disrupt intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran, nor be construed as authorizing the use of military force.
If adopted and followed, this resolution would require the President to stop using U.S. forces in hostilities with Iran except in the narrow circumstances listed. It would allow continued defensive troop presence and continued intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing when the President determines those actions are appropriate and in national security interests.
