Rep. Calvert Statement on Iran’s Attack on Israel

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) issued the following statement in response to Iran’s attack on Israel:

“Today marks an unacceptable escalation in the Middle East by Iran against our ally Israel.  First, the President, the U.S. military, and our national security community need to coordinate closely with Israel to provide intelligence and resources to bolster their defense posture to blunt this attack.  Second, the U.S. Congress must immediately pass a supplemental to provide additional supplies, including counter-UAS capability for both Israel and our military in the region, and send an unmistakable signal to Iran that we stand fully by our ally.   I want to be very clear to Iran and other actors in the region: the U.S. unequivocally stands with Israel, and we will not tolerate further escalation. My prayers are with the people of Israel, and with our troops and allies in the region.”
