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

Requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress enacts a declaration of war or a specific Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). The measure also preserves U.S. rights to defend the United States and U.S. personnel abroad, to collect and share intelligence, and to provide defensive assistance to allies and partners attacked by Iran since February 28, 2026.

• Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress enacts a declaration of war or a specific AUMF.
• Cites congressional findings that U.S. forces were introduced into hostilities beginning February 28, 2026, and notes reported casualties and regional disruptions.
• Invokes the War Powers Resolution framework and expedited congressional procedures for removal of forces introduced into hostilities without authorization.
• Preserves the U.S. right to defend the United States and U.S. personnel/facilities abroad, to collect and share intelligence, and to provide defensive assistance to allies.
• Does not appropriate funds or change tax law; it is a legal directive affecting military posture and executive authority.
• Would constrain offensive or forward operations in or against Iran absent new congressional authorization while allowing defensive and intelligence activities.
• Raises constitutional and foreign-policy implications by pressing congressional war-declaring authority and limiting executive action in the theater.
• Could require rapid operational changes by the Department of Defense and affect allied coordination and regional deterrence.
• Does not specify timelines or operational details for how removal must be executed beyond the requirement to remove forces absent congressional authorization.
