Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to vehemently condemn Iran's recent attack on Israel and express unwavering support for our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel, as they confront forces of evil.

Over the weekend, Iran launched a massive missile and drone attack directly at Israel for the first time in history. These heinous attacks threaten to further destabilize the region, risking an all-out war between Israel and Iran.

By the grace of God, Israel's Iron Dome system intercepted 99 percent of the missiles and drones aimed at them. However, the looming threat from Iran persists.

Now more than ever, it is imperative for the United States to stand by our ally and provide them with the necessary support to thwart bad actors who undermine their sovereignty, including Iran and the Iran- funded terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
