## Summary

**Would force the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress issues a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force.** The resolution ties that removal order to two statutory authorities to make the withdrawal mandatory unless Congress expressly says otherwise. - U.S. service members and the President: Would require withdrawal of forces engaged in hostilities with Iran unless there is a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force and relies on 50 U.S.C. 1546a and section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act to implement the removal. - Allies, partners, and intelligence operations: Would still allow defending against attacks, collecting and sharing intelligence about threats from Iran or its proxies, and helping partner countries attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026, with defensive actions and materiel support. - U.S. citizens abroad: Would permit assistance for security, departure, and evacuation of U.S. citizens affected by the hostilities.
