Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

Remove U.S. forces from Iran hostilities

If adopted by both chambers, this concurrent resolution would direct the President, under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military. The removal would include ground forces used in a combat or occupation role unless Congress explicitly declares war or passes a specific authorization to use force against Iran. The resolution would not stop the United States from defending itself, its armed forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from an imminent attack. It would allow keeping troops in the region for defensive purposes and would not require removing U.S. forces who are not engaged in hostilities. The resolution would also say it does not itself authorize the use of military force under the War Powers Resolution. It would not limit intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran or nearby countries, and would allow sharing intelligence with partners when the President finds such sharing appropriate for national security.
