Key Points

  • This resolution directs the President to stop U.S. military fighting against Iran within 30 days of the conflict's start on February 28, 2026. The sponsors argue that because Congress never officially declared war, the current military action is not legally authorized.

    From policy text

    Congress hereby directs the President to remove the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, including potential ground forces in a combat role or used for occupation, by not later than the date that is 30 days after the date described in section 1(6), unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.

  • While it calls for an end to active fighting, the proposal allows the U.S. military to stay in the region for defensive purposes. It specifically says the U.S. can still protect its troops, buildings, and allies if they are in immediate danger of being attacked.

    From policy text

    Nothing in this section may be construed to-- (1) prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack; (2) prevent the United States Armed Forces from maintaining a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes; or (3) force the removal of United States Armed Forces in the region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran.

  • The policy ensures that the U.S. can continue to collect and share secret information about threats from Iran. This means the government can still monitor the situation and work with other countries to stay safe without being involved in a full-scale war.

    From policy text

    Nothing in this resolution may be construed to influence or disrupt any intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities relating to threats in or emanating from Iran or surrounding countries conducted by, or in conjunction with, the United States Government involving-- (1) the collection of intelligence; (2) the analysis of intelligence; or (3) the sharing of intelligence between the United States and any coalition partner
