Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA), who serves as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism, released a statement following the United States’ targeted bombings of three Iranian nuclear sites.
“As I have said all along, Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. This targeted attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is the result of the Iranian regime’s failure to make a deal despite months of President Trump’s good faith efforts to negotiate.
I applaud President Trump’s strong leadership and his continued commitment to peace through strength. Once again, America’s detractors around the world should know President Trump means what he says.
And I am so grateful for America’s brave warriors, who appear to have achieved their mission successfully and are returning home safely. I look forward to being briefed along with my Senate colleagues on this action.
This is an important step toward ensuring that the world’s largest state sponsor of terror never obtains a nuclear weapon.”
The strikes follow ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and come after reported diplomatic efforts led by President Trump did not yield an agreement between the U.S. and Iran regarding nuclear development.
