DeSantis: Israel Attacks Hit Home.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: Iranian-Backed Attacks in Israel Are Personal
During a recent interview, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis passionately expressed his personal connection to the recent Iranian-backed terrorist attacks in Israel. As a former member of the U.S. Military during the war on terror, DeSantis revealed that the Iranians were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. soldiers.
Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” DeSantis emphasized the gravity of the situation following the devastating terror attack that claimed the lives of over 1,000 people in Israel and left more than 2,500 wounded.
“In terms of Iran, look, this is personal for me,” DeSantis stated. ”I served in Iraq back in 2007, 2008. We were in places like Fallujah and Ramadi. Mostly Sunni Arab al Qaeda fighters at the time, but most of the casualties U.S. troops were suffering were at the hands of Iranian-backed Shia militias. They killed hundreds of our troops in Iraq, probably over 1,000.”
DeSantis continued, “Of course, they were responsible, through Hezbollah, for killing our Marines back in 1983 in the Beirut barracks bombing. So Iran has a lot of American blood on its hands. Look, I think that Israel should be focused on uprooting Hamas. To make this a larger role, I think, does have some risks, but I would say the United States should turn every screw so that Iran is not getting money flowing into its coffers, particularly with their oil.”
The Republican presidential candidate criticized the Biden administration for unfreezing $6 billion of Iranian assets obtained from illicit oil sales, calling it a mistake. He also highlighted the importance of reversing the loosening of sanctions on Iran and expanding domestic energy production to enhance U.S. security during periods of Middle East instability.
