In a show of solidarity with Israel, top House Republican leaders have voiced their support for Israel’s strikes on Iran.
Speaker Mike Johnson recently took to X to post an Israeli flag, affirming his belief that “Israel IS right—and has a right—to defend itself!”
Majority Leader Steve Scalise also stood firmly with Israel, stating, “Iran has refused to dismantle its nuclear program, which puts America at risk and poses an existential threat to Israel. Tonight Israel is taking action to defend itself, and we stand with Israel. Our prayers are with them and all American personnel in the region,” in a post on X.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers echoed the sentiments of the Trump administration officials, confirming that the U.S. was not involved in the strikes.
“The U.S. was not involved in the strikes, but our forces stand ready to defend themselves and our ally Israel,” Rogers emphasized in a statement.
