This resolution uses the 1973 War Powers Resolution to declare that Congress has not authorized military hostilities against Iran, including ground troops for fighting or occupation. It would direct the President to stop such action unless Congress specifically approves it through a declaration of war or other authorization. It exempts self-defense against imminent attack, non-combat troop presence in the region, and intelligence-sharing activities.
Affects the President's military authority, U.S. service members who could be deployed to the region, and government officials managing foreign policy and national security toward Iran.
Without such action, the President could continue directing military operations against Iran without a formal congressional vote, deepening potential U.S. involvement in conflict.

Right now: it passed the House, and the official record shows nothing new since. If the Senate changes it, it goes back to the House — both chambers have to adopt the same text. This kind of resolution never goes to the President and does not become law.
Latest action: — Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
