What was being voted on

119-SJRES-180 — 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 the Islamic Republic of Iran. The resolution notes that Congress has not declared war or provided specific statutory authorization for these hostilities, known as Operation Epic Fury. It cites recent military actions that have resulted in the deaths of 13 service members and injuries to 380 others.
