Moolenaar Statement on Combat Operations in Iran

February 28, 2026 Press Release Last night, President Donald J. Trump announced he authorized combat operations against the Iranian regime. Congressman John Moolenaar released the following statement: “For nearly five decades, the Iranian regime targeted Americans and our allies, oppressed its people, funded terrorist activity around the world, and sought to develop a nuclear weapon. After Operation Midnight Hammer, those ambitions were destroyed, but the regime attempted to rebuild its capabilities. President Trump gave the Ayatollah a clear warning: dismantle your missile program or face further destruction. The regime ignored those warnings with plans to develop an ICBM that could reach the United States. God bless the brave members of the United States Armed Forces and I pray for their safety.” Issues : National Security
