Preserve defense and evacuation authorities
If enacted, this would clarify that the resolution does not stop the United States from defending against attacks on the United States or its personnel and facilities. It would allow collecting, analyzing, and sharing intelligence about threats from Iran or its proxies, including with partners such as the State of Israel and international organizations. It would allow assisting partner countries attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026 with defensive measures and defensive materiel. It would also allow helping to secure, depart, or evacuate U.S. citizens affected by the hostilities.
Withdraw U.S. forces from Iran
If enacted, this would direct the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The withdrawal would apply unless Congress declares war or passes a specific authorization for the use of military force. The directive would rely on expedited procedures in 50 U.S.C. 1546a and Public Law 94–329.
