WASHINGTON, D.C. & DES MOINES — Iowa lawmakers are weighing in on the Israeli strikes on Iran.
Senator Chuck Grassley saying, “Israel acted to protect itself, but its action helps protect the U.S. because Iran says ‘death to Israel, death to America.'”
Senator Joni Ernst, co-chair of the Abraham Accords Caucus, released the following statement:
“Join me in praying for Israel and the protection of Americans in the region and around the world. President Trump gave Iran an option for peace, but the regime proved it cannot be trusted by continuing to enrich its nuclear supply. This enrichment is only possible because the Biden administration refused to enforce sanctions on the world’s largest sponsor of terror that has American blood on its hands. Make no mistake, Iran cannot threaten the United States with nuclear weapons.”
Gov. Kim Reynolds took to X to say, “Iowa is praying for Israel.”
And Congresswoman Ashley Hinson said on X, ” Israel has the absolute right to protect itself and we are all safer with Iran’s military officials eradicated.”
