WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement on the successful U.S. military combat operation in Iran that has crippled Iran’s regime of terror and opened a new door for peace within the Middle East.

“Deceased senior leaders of the Iranian regime have reaped what they have sown – their barbarism, terrorism, and blighting of international diplomacy are at an end. Over the course of decades, Iran and its numerous proxies acted with impunity and have murdered Americans, marred stability within the Middle East, and attempted to sow fear in the hearts of millions through brute force. Their reign of terror has been snuffed out like a candle – today is a new day, and one that serves as a turning point for the Iranian people who deserve unbridled freedom on their own terms. Thanks to the bold leadership and resolve of the United States, our ally Israel, and partners in the Middle East, a new opportunity for peace has been kindled. The nations of the world should embrace the decimation of the chief sponsor of global terrorism. Our alliances are being secured.  But most of all, American lives, the security of our troops in the region, and the interests of our nation are protected through this operation.  May God bless our servicemembers, our allies, and our entire nation.”
