A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.
This bill directs the President to remove U.S. military forces from ongoing military actions against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization. It specifically responds to a February 2026 order for airstrikes inside Iran, which Congress states violates the War Powers Resolution. The bill requires the removal of forces unless Congress has declared war or passed a specific authorization for military action against Iran. Exceptions allow for self-defense, intelligence-sharing with allies attacked by Iran, and supporting allies against Iranian retaliation.
