“This isn’t a sophisticated projection of power from Iran, but what it does demonstrate is just how vulnerable Israel is. They’ve got threats from all 360 degrees - from the north from Hezbollah, from the south from Hamas, and to the east now from Iran with direct attacks, using not only drones but also ballistic missiles. This is why we need to stand behind Israel. This unfortunately is the fruit of appeasement rather than peace through strength that we’ve been seeing out of the Biden Administration.

“This [attack] does require a response and if you recall back in 2018, Iran actually shot down one of our Global Hawks…We did strike back within Iranian territory at the missile sites that launched those missiles to take down that Global Hawk. This doesn’t necessarily lead to World War III, but the Israelis have a right to protect themselves, project power, and go to the point of origin of these attacks… The Iranians need to be held responsible.”
