U.S. Senator Jim Risch, a Republican from Idaho and the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has issued a statement in response to Iran’s missile attacks on Israel.
“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,” said Risch. “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.”
Risch criticized the current administration’s approach towards Iran. “The Biden-Harris Administration’s appeasement of Iran does nothing but embolden the regime,” he stated. “We are long-overdue for the civilized world to stand together against Iran and impose real costs for this attack.”
