Show full summary
  • Service members and commanders: Forces used in hostilities against Iran would be withdrawn, while U.S. forces not engaged in hostilities may remain in the region for defensive purposes.
  • Presidential authority: The President would still be able to order self-defense actions to protect U.S. forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack.
  • Intelligence and legal limits: Intelligence, counterintelligence, and investigative activities and sharing with partners may continue if the President deems them appropriate, and the resolution explicitly does not itself authorize new military force.

End U.S. hostilities with Iran

This resolution would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes such force. It would bar new uses of force against Iran without a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. It would preserve the right to act in self‑defense and to defend U.S. forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack. It would also allow keeping defensive troop presences in the region and continuing intelligence collection and sharing when the President determines it is appropriate for national security.
