Rep. Courtney Statement on Iran’s Attacks on Israel

NORWICH, CT – Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) issued the following statement.  

“The successful multinational effort to intercept over 300 drones and missiles indiscriminately launched at Israel saved countless innocent lives. U.S. pilots and reconnaissance crews performed with flawless precision, incurring zero casualties which is a reason for all Americans to express gratitude. The emergency meeting of G7 nations called by President Biden to prevent escalation is also welcome news.

“When the U.S. House reconvenes this week, it is imperative that Speaker Johnson bring the Senate passed national security supplemental bill up for a vote so we can replenish our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with the defensive tools they need. This measure passed the Senate two months ago, and Iran’s strike—along with Putin’s ongoing invasion—clearly shows there is no excuse for any more foot dragging.”
