Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This concurrent resolution, invoking section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, except for forces necessary to defend the United States or allies from an imminent attack (subject to section 5(b) compliance), unless Congress explicitly authorizes war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.
Narrow but high‑stakes foreign policy measure faces strong procedural, partisan, and separation‑of‑powers hurdles.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear, legally grounded administrative/operational directive that invokes the War Powers Resolution and specifies a narrow exception, but it lacks the detailed implementation, fiscal acknowledgment, and accountability provisions that would be expected given the operational scale of removing armed forces from hostilities.

Cautiously supportive but pragmatic.
Values restoring congressional authority and lowering escalation risk, while wanting clearer language and safeguards to avoid unintended national security gaps or harm to allies.
Likely opposed.
Views the resolution as constraining necessary executive flexibility and U.S. deterrence posture against Iran.
