Reschenthaler Statement on U.S. Military Strikes in Iran

March 01, 2026 Reschenthaler Statement on U.S. Military Strikes in Iran WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) issued the following statement regarding U.S. military strikes in Iran: “I strongly support President Trump and our nation’s warfighters as they carry out combat operations against the Iranian regime. This joint effort with Israel is essential to safeguarding American lives at home and abroad. Ayatollah Khamenei was a brutal dictator responsible for the death of thousands of innocent lives and I applaud his removal. Since 1979, Iran has waged war against the United States. I witnessed this firsthand when I deployed to Iraq and prosecuted Iranian-backed militia groups that targeted and killed American troops during the War on Terror. Today, the regime’s nuclear ambitions, expanding ballistic missile program, and continued sponsorship of terrorism pose a direct threat to the United States and our allies. May God bless our fallen and injured heroes, their families, and all those deployed overseas.” Print Email Share Tweet
