End U.S. military hostilities with Iran

If both chambers adopt this concurrent resolution, it would direct the President, under the War Powers Resolution, to end U.S. Armed Forces' participation in hostilities against Iran. It would apply unless Congress declares war or specifically authorizes force against Iran. The resolution would preserve the U.S. right to defend itself, its forces, diplomatic facilities, and allied states from imminent attack, and it would allow U.S. forces to remain in the region for defensive purposes. It would not stop intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities the President finds necessary for national security, and it would not be construed as authorizing new military force.
