Today’s major ballistic missile attack from the Iranian regime represents another act of extreme aggression against Israel and the democratic world.

We are in complete solidarity with the people of Israel and are grateful for innovative Israeli air defenses and support from U.S. and allied Arab nations, which appear to have repelled the latest attack on Israel from Iranian soil.

As we approach the one-year mark of the October 7 atrocities, we condemn Iran’s immense destabilizing influence in the region and explicit genocidal goal of destroying Israel.

From Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza and the West Bank, Hezbollah in Lebanon, to the Houthis in Yemen and proxy militias in Iraq, Iran destabilizes the middle east by supporting terrorist armies and providing them with the weapons and know-how to indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians.

Like previous attempts to extinguish the Jewish people, Iran’s ‘Ring of Fire’ strategy is destined to fail. As a now famous sign in Israel proclaims, ‘Our wounds are centuries old but so are our resilience and our strength.’ Am Yisrael Chai, the people of Israel live.
