Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This concurrent resolution, invoked under 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.
It preserves an exception for forces necessary to defend the United States or its allies from imminent attack, provided the President complies with War Powers Resolution section 5(b) for such defensive uses.
Removal is not required if Congress explicitly authorizes hostilities by declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.
Substantive, high-conflict subject with constitutional and executive-branch resistance; concurrent resolution mechanism faces political and legal obstacles.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this concurrent resolution is a concise, legally anchored operational directive. It clearly states the action to be taken and ties that action to the statutory mechanism in the War Powers Resolution, including a narrowly defined exception. It does not, however, include explicit fiscal statements, detailed timelines, or additional oversight measures within the text itself.

Likely viewed favorably as a congressional reassertion of war powers and a step to end escalation with Iran.
Seen as prioritizing diplomacy, troop safety, and limits on executive military action.
Cautious approval: appreciates congressional oversight and de-escalation goals but worries about legal clarity and national-security tradeoffs.
Wants clearer definitions and procedural safeguards.
Likely opposed as an undue restriction on the President's ability to deter and respond to threats.
Sees risk of weakening deterrence and undermining commander-in-chief authority.
