SJRES 115 United States Senate · 119th Congress

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 hostilities against Iran that lack congressional authorization, specifically referencing the February 2026 "Operation Epic Fury" as an example of unauthorized action. It requires the removal unless Congress has declared war or passed a specific authorization for military force against Iran. The resolution clarifies it does not prevent defensive actions against attacks on U.S. personnel, intelligence sharing with allies attacked by Iran, or providing defensive aid to partners. It is based on constitutional authority (Article I, Section 8) and the War Powers Resolution, aiming to ensure military deployments comply with congressional oversight.
