WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement on Iran’s missile attacks against Israel today:
“Iran is the number one threat to stability in the Middle East. It seeks the destruction of Israel and the United States, and fuels terror proxies that erode the sovereignty of its neighbors. The United States will always stand with Israel, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Israeli people as they respond to these missile attacks.
“The Biden-Harris Administration’s appeasement of Iran does nothing but embolden the regime. We are long-overdue for the civilized world to stand together against Iran and impose real costs for this attack.”
