Summary
Congress must authorize any U.S. hostilities against Iran.

It preserves limited authorities to defend against attacks, collect and share intelligence, and assist partner countries with defensive measures and materiel.

- Servicemembers and families: Could prompt withdrawal of forces engaged in hostilities with Iran, including units among the more than 50,000 U.S. personnel reported deployed to the region by early March 2026.
- The President and executive branch: Would limit the President’s ability to continue hostilities against Iran without explicit Congressional authorization while still allowing defensive actions, intelligence work, and support to allies.
- Partner countries and allies: Allows assistance to countries attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026, including defensive measures and provision of defensive materiel.
- Congress and legal framework: Reaffirms Congress’s Article I war power and bases the removal directive on specific statutes cited in the resolution.

Remove U.S. forces from Iran
This bill would direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes those hostilities by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. The direction would be issued under 50 U.S.C. 1546a and in accordance with section 601(b) of Public Law 94-329. The bill would still let the United States defend itself or its personnel and facilities abroad. It would also let the U.S. keep collecting and sharing intelligence about Iran and help partner countries attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026, including by providing defensive materiel.
