Rep. Ron Estes of Kansas has issued a statement following the United States' airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The strikes targeted three locations in Iran, marking a significant military action by the U.S.

"Tonight's decisive action reflects the United States' commitment to preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power," said Rep. Estes. He emphasized the perceived threat posed by Iran, describing it as "a regime that espouses 'death to America' and supports terrorism." According to Estes, allowing Iran to continue its nuclear development would endanger both the U.S. and global security.

Estes expressed gratitude for the military personnel involved in the operation, stating, "Instead of weak inaction, we have completely obliterated three nuclear sites, thanks to the incredible men and women in uniform who ensure that our nation is safe and free." He concluded his remarks with a call for prayers for American troops and divine protection over the country.
