The Biden Administration says don\u2019t - Iran and its proxies \u2018do\u2019. We need to regain deterrence by letting Iran know its infrastructure is on the target list.\n\n\u201cAttacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria are serious and unrelenting, and now the Houthi forces are expanding the target list and going after shipping.\n\n\u201cNone of this would be possible without support and backing from Iran. I also believe all of this would stop if Iran thought we were serious about holding them accountable for the actions of its proxies.\u201d\n\n####", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:56:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=6130F785-7EB8-4F1E-9455-DC73FDE76635"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.885755755007267, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
