Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden from Wisconsin's 3rd District issued a statement following the United States' military action against Iran's nuclear facilities. The strike has sparked significant international attention and discussion.
In his statement, Van Orden criticized Iran for not signing an agreement proposed by former President Donald Trump. He stated, "Iran’s first mistake was not signing the deal that President Trump offered. Their second mistake was believing President Trump would not take the necessary steps to protect our allies and interests abroad."
Van Orden emphasized the threat posed by Iran, describing it as "the largest state sponsor of terrorism" responsible for many American deaths. He argued that it is crucial to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities.
The congressman also expressed support for Trump's actions in defense of Israel, America's ally in the Middle East. He remarked on what he perceives as previous administrations' weaknesses: "The weak national security leadership of the Obama and Biden administrations emboldened Iran, allowing them to advance their nuclear capabilities greater than ever before."
Concluding his statement, Van Orden extended blessings to the U.S. military and Israel during these challenging times: "May God bless our magnificent military and protect Israel in these troubling times."
