As initial reports of Iran’s ballistic missile strikes in Israel began to surface, Republicans in Congress immediately called for Israel to strike back — with several urging the United States to involve itself more directly.
Iran launched an estimated 180 “projectiles” toward Israel after reportedly warning “international parties” about the size and timing of its planned attack. The White House publicly warned the attack was imminent on Tuesday morning in a statement and said it was “actively supporting defensive preparations.”
Sen. Marco Rubio called for a “maximum pressure campaign against Iran.”
