The War Powers Resolution, introduced by Democratic legislators with bipartisan Republican co-sponsors, is currently being advanced for a vote. The resolution aims to end U.S. military operations in Iran, which its proponents assert are “unauthorized.”
What follows is a summary of the concurrent / joint resolution against military action in Iran.
Sections 1 through 4 of the resolution outline key provisions regarding U.S. military actions against Iran. Section 1 presents the findings, laying the foundation for the subsequent sections by detailing the circumstances and rationale behind the resolution. Section 2 mandates the termination of U.S. armed forces’ involvement in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, effectively seeking to end any “unauthorized” military operations.
Section 3 clarifies that the resolution does not affect intelligence sharing, ensuring that cooperation in this area can continue. Section 4 emphasizes that nothing in the resolution should be interpreted as authorizing the use of military force against Iran, reinforcing the intent to limit military engagement and maintain strict adherence to the specified boundaries.
A Resolution Supporting U.S. Military Operations in Iran
Instead of only debating the War Powers Resolution to terminate ongoing operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Congressional Republicans should introduce a joint resolution that authorizes military operations in Iran. If ever there was a country that deserved a counterpunch from the United States, it is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Over the last forty-seven years this evil regime and its proxies have killed thousands of Americans. They have raped, tortured, and killed an unknown number of their own citizens. They are now getting what they deserve.
Here’s a draft of resolution to support America, oppose evil, and authorize the use of military force in Iran.
117th Congress

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr./Ms. [Sponsor Name] introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran in response to ongoing threats to United States national security and regional stability.
Whereas the Islamic Republic of Iran has engaged in activities that pose a direct threat to the United States, its allies, and international peace, including the development of nuclear capabilities in violation of international agreements, support for terrorist organizations, and aggressive actions in the Middle East;
Whereas Iran has sponsored proxy forces that have attacked United States personnel and interests, resulting in loss of life and heightened tensions;
Whereas diplomatic efforts to resolve these threats have been exhausted, and further inaction risks escalation of conflict;
Whereas the President has determined that the use of military force is necessary and appropriate to protect United States national security interests; and

The end of the Islamic Republic will make the world a safer place. It’s time for Democrats to somehow set aside their seething hated for President Trump and show the world that Americans can still unite and fight for right and freedom.
