Gillibrand Statement On Israel-Iran Conflict

Jun 13, 2025
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“The situation in the Middle East is extremely serious and I am closely monitoring ongoing developments. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself. Iran is the foremost sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. With Iranian retaliation already occurring and likely to continue, I am praying for the Israeli people, as well as for American troops, personnel and citizens throughout the Middle East. I will remain in close contact with our intelligence and national security community as this situation evolves.”
