  • U.S. service members in the region: Would be removed from hostilities against Iran and could remain only for defensive duties or be withdrawn if not engaged in combat.
  • The President and the executive branch: Would face a clear limit on continuing hostilities without a declaration of war or a specific congressional authorization for use of force.
  • Intelligence agencies and allied partners: Would keep authority to collect, analyze, and share intelligence about threats from Iran when the President determines it is in the national security interest.

Stop U.S. military action against Iran

This resolution would, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or parts of its government or military. It would require removal unless Congress declares war or passes a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. The resolution would still allow defending the United States, U.S. forces, 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 against Iran. The resolution would also say it does not authorize the use of military force and would not stop U.S. intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities about threats from Iran, including intelligence sharing when the President finds it appropriate for national security.
