BOISE, Idaho – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the statement below following air strikes on the capital of Yemen:
“I applaud the president’s decisive action in Yemen. With Iran’s support, the Houthis have operated with impunity for far too long, attacked American sailors, attacked Israel, and have shut down Red Sea shipping and passed costs to Americans. From maximum pressure to dismantling Iran’s proxies, President Trump has made good on his promise to reverse Biden’s failed Middle East policies. His decisive action today sends a clear message to the Iranian regime that its terrorists can no longer dominate the Middle East.”
