Landsman Statement After the U.S. Attacks the Iranian Regime

Cincinnati, OH - Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) released the following statement after the United States launched an attack on the Iranian regime:

The U.S. is destroying Iran's missiles and bombs to stop them from taking more lives.

These strikes are targeting military infrastructure - with warnings to Iranian civilians to take shelter away from these military targets.

If it wasn't for the regime, the region may very well know peace.

For decades, the regime has caused mayhem and bloodshed through Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen - all while the people of Iran have suffered.

When the Iranian people stood up to protest the regime last month, the regime murdered tens of thousands of its own people.

I want a lasting peace for everyone in the region - from the Iranian people to the Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians, and Israelis. I hope these targeted strikes on the Iranian regime's military assets ends the regime's mayhem and bloodshed and makes way for this lasting peace in the region.

Thank you to our brave service members who are leading this effort, and I pray their work will finally free the people of Iran and those in the region from more violence or war.

May peace emerge from all of this.
