Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The operative text restrains U.S. military hostilities against Iran that lack a declaration of war or statutory authorization, which restrains unauthorized and potentially unjust war and asserts congressional limits on executive force. The imminent-attack defensive exception and disputed factual questions about threats keep this from being an absolute verdict, but the primary direction is restraint.
Theological note: The measure bears on the Christian understanding of lawful authority and just war. Scripture grounds the sword's use in legitimate civil authority and in defense against real threat, and Reformed just-war reasoning asks whether force is authorized, proportionate, and reserved for defense. The bill's concern for constitutional accountability over the use of force, and its defensive exception for imminent attack, are directly relevant to those questions. This is an issue-relevance note, not a final candidate judgment.
