This joint resolution directs President Trump to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from military hostilities with Iran unless Congress formally authorizes such operations through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. The resolution responds to combat operations that began on February 28, 2026, noting that the President did not comply with the War Powers Resolution requirement to end hostilities after 60 days or seek a congressional extension. The resolution affects all military personnel currently engaged in or supporting operations against Iran and does not require any specific funding since it directs the removal of existing forces rather than appropriating money. The measure includes exceptions allowing the U.S. to defend itself against direct attacks, conduct intelligence operations, assist partner nations in defensive measures, and help evacuate American citizens. Congress previously passed a similar measure on a bipartisan basis in June 2026, making this resolution an effort to enforce that prior congressional directive through binding legislation.
