Summary
This joint resolution authorizes the President to use U.S. Armed Forces against Iran to degrade or defeat Iran's nuclear weapons program and delivery systems, address imminent threats to U.S. forces or facilities, enforce a blockade of Iranian ports, and ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The authorization explicitly prohibits sustained ground combat operations, occupation of Iranian territory, and nation-building activities, though it permits rescue operations and intelligence activities. The President must submit reports to Congress every 30 days, and the authorization expires on July 30, 2026, with a limited 30-day wind-down period.
