End U.S. military hostilities with Iran

If adopted by both chambers, this resolution would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes such force. It would preserve narrow self-defense rights, let the U.S. keep troops in the region for defensive purposes, and would not require removing forces not engaged in hostilities with Iran. The resolution would also state that nothing in it authorizes the use of military force. It would preserve intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners when the President finds such sharing is in the national security interest.
