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.

Key Points

• The resolution would order Trump to remove U.S. forces from combat in or against Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes the war through a declaration of war or a use-of-force vote.
• It notes that more than 50,000 troops were deployed to the region for what Trump called 'major combat operations in Iran' starting in late February 2026, without a war declaration from Congress.
• The bill argues this violates the War Powers Resolution, which requires troops to leave a conflict zone after 60 days (or 90 with an extension) unless Congress approves continued action, and that deadline has already passed.
• Even if this passes, the military could still defend against attacks, share intelligence about Iranian threats, and help partner countries that Iran has attacked defend themselves.
• Because this is a War Powers Resolution joint resolution, it qualifies for expedited floor consideration under existing law, meaning it could reach a Senate vote even without committee approval.
