Summary
End U.S. hostilities with Iran absent explicit congressional authorization. This concurrent resolution would direct the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from any hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran and to terminate use of force unless Congress issues a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. The directive relies on the War Powers Resolution and covers all forms of hostilities, including potential ground combat or occupation.

- Service members: Forces engaged in hostilities against Iran would be pulled back. Troops in the region who are not engaged in hostilities would not be forced to leave.
- Diplomacy and allies: The resolution preserves the right to defend U.S. forces, diplomatic sites, or allied states from imminent attack and allows maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region.
- Intelligence and investigations: Intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners remain allowed if the President determines such sharing is appropriate and in the national security interests of the United States.

End U.S. military hostilities with Iran
If adopted by both chambers, this resolution would direct the President under the War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. The order would cover combat ground forces and forces used for occupation. It would apply unless Congress explicitly declares war or authorizes use of military force against Iran. It would still allow defending the United States, U.S. forces, diplomatic sites, and allies from imminent attack and keeping defensive troop presence in the region. It would not stop U.S. intelligence collection, analysis, or sharing with partners when the President finds it necessary. The resolution would also say it does not itself authorize the use of military force.
