Mike Levin’s Statement on Israel’s Preemptive Strikes on Iranian Nuclear and Military Targets Washington, D.C.— Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement on Israel’s strikes in Iran: “I am closely monitoring the unfolding events in the Middle East after Israel launched preemptive, unilateral strikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets. “The Iranian regime, which sponsors terrorism and represses its own people, must never obtain a nuclear weapon. In recent days, international nuclear regulators declared Iran in violation of its nonproliferation obligations after finding the country dangerously close to making several nuclear weapons. “Iran’s decades-long pursuit of a nuclear weapon poses a grave threat to the United States and our allies. No nation can be expected to stand by while another openly threatens its existence and races to gain the capabilities to carry it out. The Iranian regime must renounce its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program once and for all. “I urge the Trump Administration to take every step to protect U.S. personnel and diplomatic facilities in the region, and to make clear that any attack on American interests will not be tolerated. I support Israel’s right to defend itself from imminent threats and believe the United States should provide appropriate diplomatic and material support to help prevent further escalation. “I will continue supporting measures that prevent military miscalculation, save lives, and chart a path forward that brings us closer to ending Iran’s nuclear threat in order to create a more secure and peaceful world.” ### Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
