End U.S. hostilities against Iran

This bill sought to direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran within 30 days after February 28, 2026. The deadline would not apply if Congress declared war or passed a specific authorization for force against Iran. The bill would have allowed the United States to defend itself, its forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack. It would not have forced removal of U.S. forces not engaged in hostilities, and it would have allowed a defensive troop presence and intelligence sharing the President judged necessary. The resolution also said it did not authorize the use of military force.
