This measure would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any active combat operations involving Iran, unless Congress votes to approve continued military action. The directive invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits how long the President can keep armed forces in hostile situations without congressional approval. It affects military personnel deployed in regions where they might engage in combat with Iranian forces or Iranian-backed groups.
