## Summary

**Reserves for Congress the power to allow hostilities with Iran.** This concurrent resolution would direct the President to end U.S. military involvement in hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran unless Congress passes a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran. - Service members and military families: The resolution would require removing U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran, and it explicitly covers potential ground forces used in combat or occupation, unless Congress authorizes the action. - Executive branch and force posture: It preserves the President's ability to defend the United States, U.S. forces, diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack. It also allows keeping troops in the region for defensive purposes and does not force removal of forces not engaged in hostilities. - Intelligence and partners: It protects ongoing intelligence, counterintelligence, and investigative activities related to threats from Iran. It also allows intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners when the President judges that sharing is in U.S. national security interests. - Legal scope: The measure states that it should not be read as an authorization for the use of military force and aims to repudiate any implied congressional authorization for ongoing hostilities absent a formal congressional authorization.
