WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28), a Member of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), issued the following statement on the latest strikes in the Middle East:
“Biden’s failure to isolate the regime in Iran, annihilate Hamas, and support our strategic partners in the Middle East has emboldened the enemies of freedom to target, attack, and murder US troops,” said Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL). “President Biden is weak and our enemies know it. His misguided foreign policy has invited these attacks against the United States. In fact, Biden lifted President Trump’s sanctions on Iran which were among the most effective in history. Oil sanctions need to be immediately reimposed on the Iranian regime and Biden should’ve taken action much sooner to adequately deter further attacks from Iran & its terrorist proxies.”
