Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued a statement following recent U.S. military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear sites.
“For decades, Iran has chanted ‘death to America’ and pledged to wipe Israel off the map. When foreign adversaries pledge to destroy us, we should believe them.
“President Trump has always been clear: Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon – and I agree. Today, his administration took the necessary steps to keep a nuclear weapon out of Iran’s reach, and I am grateful to the service members who successfully carried out the mission.”
The strikes come amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear ambitions and its threats toward both the U.S. and Israel.
