The United States and Israel launched major offensive military operations against Iran today
From the Office of Congressman Langworthy, February 28, 2026
“The Iranian regime is the world’s number one sponsor of terror and has the blood of thousands of Americans on its hands. Their “Death to America” chants and desire to annihilate Israel are not slogans, they are actively building the nuclear weapons and missile capabilities to make it a reality and over the last four decades have taken every opportunity to kill.
“President Trump has given them numerous chances to deescalate and has successfully built allied relationships with the rest of the Middle East region, who are supportive of the Epic Fury operation. The Gang of 8 was also briefed and has conveyed the grave importance of stopping Iran’s military capabilities. This mission is about protecting our homeland and finishing the job of blocking this murderous regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It should be very telling that while our strikes are isolated to military targets, Iran has begun indiscriminate bombings of civilian locations.
“May God watch over our incredible U.S. Servicemembers who are tasked with this mission and those deployed across the region. This is a moment for us to stand united for lasting peace for America, the Iranian people, and all countries across the Middle East.
“It is also a time that we must be extra vigilant on our own soil and Democrats must stop blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security so it can immediately reopen. Time is of the essence.”
