Statement by Congressman Issa on Israeli Military Action in Iran

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) released the following statement after reports of an Israeli drone strike Saturday on a military target in Isfahan, Iran:
 
“By striking a military target in Iran, Israel has taken decisive action against the primary force of instability in the region and the leading sponsor of terror throughout the globe. America must stand with our ally and unequivocally defend Israel’s right to defend itself against existential enemies – especially Iran – that would destroy the Jewish State.
 
“The world is looking for America to show clear resolve, speak with a resolute voice, and deliver strategic clarity. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration’s Iran policy has been muddled and muted, save for when it wasn’t openly appeasing Iran and agreeing to one concession after another. After today, it is finally time for this White House to let go of its dreams for a Rose Garden signing ceremony celebrating a nuclear deal with the Mullahs of Tehran.
 
“This is the time for a unified American response that supports Israel, tells the truth about Iran, and advances a smarter strategy to contain the terror state. I believe the Congress stands ready to do its part to make that happen.”
