This measure would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any active conflict with Iran, unless Congress votes to approve continued military involvement. The directive invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits how long the President can keep troops engaged in military operations without congressional approval. It would affect military personnel stationed in the Middle East and any ongoing U.S. military operations involving Iran.
