Hal Rogers U.S. House of Representatives from Kentucky's 5th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05) issued a statement following an attack by Iran on Israel. The Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. military worked closely with the Israeli Defense Forces to defend Israel, deploying two US Navy destroyers to the Middle East region. These destroyers supported the defense by firing approximately a dozen interceptors against nearly 200 incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.
"I salute the United States Navy for intercepting Iranian missiles fired at Israel, protecting our allied nation from any further loss of life," said Congressman Rogers. "This escalated attack by Iran magnifies the need for an escalated stance from the United States. Iran’s terrorist regime has grown even more defiant and emboldened under the weak Biden/Harris Administration. Iran must face severe consequences and full enforcement of U.S. sanctions to reaffirm that America will always stand with Israel and will not tolerate threats to our U.S. Troops in the region."
