Murphy Statement on U.S. Military Action in Iran

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., issued the following statement regarding U.S. military action in Iran:

"Decades of appeasement of the radical, Islamic terrorist regime of Iran are over," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D."Ayatollah Khamenei and his terrorist rulers, if allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, would never hesitate to use it against Israel, the United States, or any other country. They have proven that life means nothing to them by recently killing thousands of their own people. President Trump and his administration have given Tehran every opportunity to negotiate peace, but, just like they have always done before, they have delayed and refused to cooperate to buy time to become a nuclear power. America cannot allow the cancerous threat of Islamic jihadi ideology to have such a devastating weapon to threaten the stability and security of our allies and the global community. These sentiments have been said previously by both Democrat and Republican Presidents. This should not be a partisan issue. I support this overdue action by President Trump and commend his strong record of delivering peace through strength. May God bless our troops and keep them safe."
