- Service members: Most U.S. forces would be pulled out of active hostilities with Iran, though defensive deployments for imminent threats could continue.
- President and executive branch: Would limit the President's ability to engage in hostilities against Iran without meeting War Powers Resolution requirements or obtaining a declaration of war or specific congressional authorization.

Limit U.S. military action against Iran
If adopted by both chambers, this concurrent resolution would direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran. It would allow forces needed to defend the United States or an ally from imminent attack. Those defensive uses would require the President to comply fully with section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(b)). The directive would not apply if Congress declares war or specifically authorizes the use of military force against Iran. If adopted, it would likely reduce deployments and affect service members, their families, and communities.
