"Tonight the President made clear that he now believes ISIL is no longer the "JV team" and represents a grave threat to our allies in the Middle East, our own national security, and all of those who stand between them and their radical ideology." "I support the President's decision to expand air strikes against ISIL so that ground forces in Iraq can go on the offensive and agree that we must attack this enemy wherever they pose a threat to the United States. The President also laid out a multifaceted strategy to use intelligence, disrupting the flow of foreign fighters and funding, and support for fighters on the ground that, if properly executed, can have a decisive impact on the ability of ISIS to wage jihad." "I will continue working with my colleagues on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees to carefully review the details of these proposals and the authorities for taking action." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
