Wagner Statement on Israeli Preemptive Strikes on Iran

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) released the following statement in response to Israel's preemptive strikes on Iran:

"I wholeheartedly support Israel defending its people and nation. The United States must unequivocally stand with the Israeli people as they fight for their right to exist. Our alliance is resolute, and will never waver.

"It is the stated goal of Iran to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and they continued to enrich uranium to construct and use nuclear weapons on the Jewish people and the Western world. Iranian leaders who operated in defiance of the United States, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the entire international community have now been permanently removed from power due to the success of this Israeli operation. This should serve as a warning to the Ayatollah. Agree to the Trump Administration's terms, or suffer the most severe consequences. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress and the House Intelligence Committee to support Israel in their fight for lasting peace throughout the region."
