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 joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. It states that Congress has not declared war or provided specific authorization for these military actions, citing the War Powers Resolution's 60-day limit for such operations. The bill mandates the withdrawal of forces unless Congress explicitly declares war or passes a specific authorization for military force against Iran. However, it clarifies that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, sharing intelligence, assisting allies with defensive measures, or evacuating U.S. citizens.
