This measure would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any ongoing military operations or conflicts involving Iran, unless Congress specifically approves continued military action. The directive invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that gives Congress authority over extended military engagements abroad. It affects military personnel deployed in regions where U.S. forces are engaged with Iranian forces or militias.
