A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

S.J.Res. 118 is a binding joint resolution that would require the removal of United States Armed Forces from any hostilities involving or targeting Iran that have not been explicitly authorized by Congress. If enacted, this measure would direct the President to cease military operations against Iran absent a new congressional authorization, reflecting the constitutional principle that Congress holds the power to declare war.

The resolution was introduced in the Senate on March 5, 2026, by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ). On March 18, 2026, a motion to discharge the bill from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations was rejected in a 47-53 vote, meaning the measure did not advance at that time. The bill remains referred to committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. If this resolution were to pass both chambers and be signed by the President, it would have the force of law and would require the executive branch to comply with its directive regarding military operations in or against Iran.
