Three things are true tonight: Iran is the aggressor. Israel is defending its people — and has every right to. It would be a grave miscalculation to test our U.S. forces.

I stand firmly behind Israel’s right to defend itself. Iran has long funded terror groups who killed Americans and has moved to develop nuclear weapons to aim at Israel. If Israel’s strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program, we’ll all be safer. The White House must ensure the

The NYPD is tracking the situation in the Middle East. Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to Jewish, Israeli & other sites throughout NYC. We’re coordinating with our federal partners & we'll continue to monitor for any potential impact to NYC.

A year ago, Iran sent three Americans home under flag-draped caskets who were killed at tower 22. Within the last three months, Iran again attacked navy warships. What Israel's preemptive strike ensured tonight is that Iran’s next attack will NOT be with a nuclear weapon.

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.

As we work to understand the situation that is developing in the Middle East tonight, I urge both sides to do what they can to prevent further escalation of violence. Too many innocent civilians are at risk of getting caught in the crossfire and leaders of both countries should

For too long, the mullahs in Iran have publicly aspired to wipe the only democracy in the Middle East off the face of the map via any means possible: funding and arming terror groups on Israel’s borders, choking off international sea lanes, and multiple barrages of missiles and

My full statement: Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Iran, risks a regional war that will likely be catastrophic for America and is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies -

The attacks from Israel are widespread and deep. I spent 8 years inside the UN Security Council hearing every detail from what the IAEA said they couldn’t get access to….Natanz was always a secret location that the Iranians wouldn’t open up. This attack is devastating to

The Israeli government bombing Iran is a dangerous escalation that could lead to regional war. War Criminal Netanyahu will do anything to maintain his grip on power. We cannot let him drag our country into a war with Iran. Our government must stop funding and supporting this

I’m closely monitoring the situation unfolding in Iran. Let me be clear: Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and poses an existential threat to our key democratic ally, Israel. Iran and her terror proxies have also attacked American bases, service members, and

Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Tehran, is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies - have for President Trump.
