Senator John Hoeven, who serves on the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee, released a statement following U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. The action came after Iran declined to negotiate an end to its nuclear program.
“Iran must never have nuclear weapons. President Trump ordered strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities after Iran refused to negotiate an end to its nuclear program. We support these strikes, which protect our national security and help defend our ally Israel. We especially salute the skills and courage of our service members who planned and executed these strikes and who always work to keep us safe and free,” Hoeven said.
The senator’s comments reflect ongoing concerns in Congress about Iran’s nuclear ambitions and U.S. efforts to address them through military action.
