October 1, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement after Iran launched hundreds of missiles in a direct attack against Israel:

“For three and a half years, the Biden-Harris administration’s appeasement-first foreign policy has emboldened adversaries and invited aggression. Today’s attack on an American ally by Iran is a direct result of that weakness. Iran doesn’t just chant ‘death to Israel,’ they chant ‘death to America’ as well. It’s time for this administration to put up or shut up. America must stand unequivocally with Israel.”
