House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford has issued a statement regarding Israel's recent military actions against Iran. Crawford emphasized that the United States is not involved in these strikes and advised Iran against targeting U.S. forces.
Crawford expressed his concern about the situation escalating, stating, "I regret that we have come to this breaking point." He stressed the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, as it would pose significant threats to both Israel and the United States, as well as their allies in the Arab world.
The Chairman highlighted Iran's role in creating instability through its actions, which he described as "blatant" and "relentless." He supported Israel's right to defend itself and praised the efforts of the Trump Administration in seeking peace and stability in the region. Crawford concluded with a hope for a swift resolution to stabilize the situation before tensions increase further.
