The United States must stand with our friend under fire. “The Biden Administration has repeatedly threatened Iran with ‘severe consequences’ for its campaign of terror against Israel and the United States, but failed to impose them. It has pledged ‘ironclad’ support for Israel, only to delay and withhold the security assistance that would give this pledge any weight. “It is not enough to issue statements. It is not enough to intercept missiles and drones moments before they reach civilians in Israel or U.S. personnel in the Red Sea. It is time for America to act like the friend of Israel we claim to be. It is time to replenish Israel’s supply of critical munitions. “It is time for the world’s leading architects of terror, and their proxies, to face severe consequences.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
