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.

Reassertion of Congressional Authority: Section 1 notes that Congress has the sole power to declare war under the United States Constitution, and that Congress has not declared war upon Iran or enacted a specific statutory authorization for the use of military force within or against Iran. This holds the executive branch accountable by ensuring the collective judgment of both Congress and the President applies to the introduction of armed forces into hostilities.

Mandated Removal from Unauthorized Hostilities: Section 2(a) directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. This provision limits unauthorized military engagements that lack congressional approval.

Preservation of Defense and Alliance Support: Section 2(b) provides rules of construction ensuring that the resolution does not prevent the United States from defending against attacks on the United States, its personnel, or its facilities. It also allows the United States to continue collecting, analyzing, and sharing intelligence, and to assist Israel and partner countries in directly defending against retaliatory attacks or by providing defensive material support.
