WARREN COUNTY, OHIO -- Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) released the following statement after Israel conducted a strike on Iran:
Iran has long worked to destroy Israel, through terror armies on Israel’s borders and with direct attacks. The international watchdog agency has declared Iran to be in violation of agreements regarding their nuclear program.
Israel is justifiably defending itself and its people.
Iran’s nuclear program isn’t just an existential threat to Israel and the Middle East, it’s a threat to the world. Diplomacy has been given every opportunity, but the Iranian regime refuses to give up their nuclear ambitions.
I stand with Israel and the rest of the West as we confront this threat together.
Iran must get rid of all their enriched uranium, allow for immediate and ongoing inspections, and dismantle their terror armies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
There will be peace when Iran no longer has a nuclear program, a civil one sure, and their terror armies dismantled. Palestinians, Syrians, the Lebanese, and Israel can be free of this terror.
Peace will follow.
