Key Excerpts:

Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): "Well, President Trump, what I appreciate about his most is that he has been very clear that he will finish the job. He's said that over and over again. Two nights ago, the American military struck about 80 targets, last night 100 targets, and he's made it very clear we are not going to let up. The ceasefire gave us time for our military to restore our munitions stockpiles, and now you're seeing the full force of the American Military. The might of the American Military is something the Iranians do not want to face again… President Trump is not going to take just any deal with the Iranians; it has to be a deal that ensures they never get a nuclear weapon. That's what's at stake here."

"My interest here on behalf of Hoosiers is to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, bring down the price of gas, and to bring down the cost of living for families in Indiana. And that's what President Trump is trying to do with these strikes. The only thing Iranians react to is the force of our military. These Military strikes are decimating the Iranian military and making it much more difficult for them to block the strait to keep oil flowing. President Trump is doing what no other president has been willing to do."
