Bill > HCRes92

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, directs the President to end the involvement of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran, as allowed by section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, a law that governs when and how the President can deploy troops. This means U.S. troops should be removed from any combat operations against Iran, its government, or its military, including ground forces involved in fighting or occupation, unless Congress has formally declared war or specifically authorized military action against Iran. However, the resolution clarifies that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its forces, diplomatic sites, or allies from immediate attacks, nor does it require the withdrawal of troops in the region if they are not engaged in hostilities against Iran, or if they are present for defensive purposes. Furthermore, it ensures that intelligence gathering, analysis, and sharing related to threats from Iran or surrounding areas will not be affected, as long as the President deems it appropriate and in the nation's security interest. Crucially, the resolution explicitly states that it does not authorize any new use of military force.
