Republicans Respond to Israel’s Strikes on Iran: ‘Game On’

  • On June 13, 2025, Israel began Operation Rising Lion to preempt a planned Iranian attack and halt Iran's nuclear bomb ambitions.
  • This operation followed Iran's rapid nuclear program expansion and heightened regional tensions after the U.S. withdrew from the nuclear agreement.
  • In response, Iran launched several successive ballistic missile strikes targeting Israel, leading to blasts near Jerusalem and Tel Aviv while Israeli defense systems intercepted the incoming missiles.
  • Senator Pete Welch warned that Israel's strike risks regional war and disrupts nuclear talks, while others stressed Israel's right to self-defense and urged de-escalation.
  • The escalation raises concerns about U.S. involvement, highlighting the need to protect Americans and allies while pursuing diplomacy to avoid broader conflict.
