AI-generated summary, report an errorThis joint resolution would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes them through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. It states that Congress has not declared war on Iran or passed such an authorization. It also states that the President did not end the use of forces after 60 days as the War Powers Resolution requires. The resolution would still allow the United States to defend against attacks on the country or its personnel and facilities abroad. It would also allow the United States to share intelligence about threats from Iran and to help partner countries defend against attacks by Iran or its proxies.
