2026 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iran

Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

2026-05-07

This proposal would give the President legal authority to use military force against Iran if he determines it necessary, without requiring a separate declaration of war from Congress. The authorization would apply to military operations related to Iran's government, military, or designated terrorist organizations. This type of measure allows the executive branch to conduct military actions while still involving Congress in the decision, though it gives the President significant flexibility in how and when to use that authority.
