This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless Congress declares war or specifically authorizes the use of force. It preserves actions such as defending U.S. people and facilities, sharing intelligence, supporting defensive measures by partner countries, and helping U.S. citizens leave affected areas. The Senate rejected a motion to discharge the resolution from committee by a vote of 47–48. Its status is listed as in progress.
If enacted, the resolution would limit U.S. military involvement in hostilities against Iran without congressional authorization. It would still allow certain defensive actions and assistance to U.S. citizens affected by the hostilities.
