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.

Summary

Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless Congress enacts a declaration of war or a specific statutory authorization for the use of force. The measure relies on expedited War Powers procedures and preserves narrow exceptions for defensive actions, intelligence activities, assistance to allies for defensive measures, and protection/evacuation of U.S. citizens and personnel.

• Directs the President to remove U.S. forces from hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress enacts a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of force.
• Invokes the War Powers expedited procedures (50 U.S.C. § 1546a) to prioritize congressional consideration.
• Finds that current operations meet the War Powers test for introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities and notes U.S. casualties.
• Preserves exceptions for defensive actions to protect the U.S. or U.S. personnel, intelligence activities, partner defensive assistance, and evacuations.
• Does not appropriate funds or create new spending; it imposes a statutory removal directive rather than authorization of operations.
• Applies specifically to hostilities within or against Iran, not to operations elsewhere.
• Could materially constrain the President’s ability to continue offensive operations absent congressional authorization.
• Maintains legal space for intelligence-sharing and defensive support to allies, including defensive materiel assistance.
