"I wouldn't describe it as that. I'd describe it as what I hope is a very limited operation where we are destroying their weapons systems, particularly their missiles and their bombs, to stop the ongoing mayhem, chaos, and violence that this regime has caused."
"I hope these targeted strikes on the Iranian regime's military assets ends the regime's mayhem and bloodshed and makes way for this lasting peace in the region."
Most Democratic members of Congress have criticized Trump's military action against Iran as illegal and lacking congressional authorization. However, Congressman Greg Landsman from Ohio, a strong Israel supporter, stands apart by backing the coordinated American-Israeli military intervention. Landsman characterizes the action as a limited operation focused on destroying Iran's missile systems and military infrastructure rather than a full-scale war. He justifies his position by citing Iran's poor human rights record and its role in regional violence and chaos. Landsman hopes the targeted strikes will end the Iranian regime's destabilizing activities and promote lasting regional peace.
