Bill overview
This bill, the ‘No WAR Act,’ aims to prevent the use of reconciliation procedures to fund military operations against Iran without a formal declaration of war or specific authorization. It introduces a point of order in Congress to block reconciliation bills that provide budget authority for hostilities, including those conducted by proxy forces, against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The bill clarifies the definition of ‘hostilities’ to encompass various military actions and defines ‘proxy forces’ as foreign military entities operating under U.S. direction. Ultimately, the bill seeks to ensure congressional authorization before funds are allocated for military action against Iran.
