In an interview with Fox News&#8217; Maria Bartiromo, Ernst expressed her \u200ddisappointment in the \u2063president&#8217;s response and called for a more aggressive approach to protect American soldiers.<\/p>\n<h3>Iran&#8217;s Involvement and the Need for Action<\/h3>\n<p>Ernst emphasized that Iran\u200c is behind these attacks, funding various terrorist organizations such as Hamas,\u2062 Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. \u200bShe criticized President Biden for appeasing Iran \u200cinstead of standing up to\u200d them,\u2063 stressing the importance\u200d of pushing back against their actions. Ernst called for measures such as interdicting Iran&#8217;s oil\u2064 and freezing \u2064their\u2062 assets to hold them \u2062accountable.<\/p>\n<p>She warned that terrorism is a global threat \u200band urged\u200d the United States to remain strong\u200c in the\u2064 fight against it, emphasizing that the War \u2062on \u200cTerror is \u200bnot over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/as-irans-proxies-target-u-s-troops-ernst-slams-biden-for-his-weakness\">As Iran\u2019s Proxies Target U.S. Troops, Ernst\u200b Slams\u2063 Biden For His \u2064Weakness<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has Iran&#8217;s support for Shia militias in Iraq and \u200cSyria impacted \u200cthe security situation and endangered American personnel?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Rtment of Defense has confirmed that there have been\u2063 recent attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria.

In a statement, the Department\u200d expressed its deep concern over\u200b these attacks and reiterated \u2063its commitment to the safety and security of American forces and personnel.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks on U.S. forces in the\u2062 region have\u200b been \u2062attributed to various\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-says-biggest-domestic-terror-threats-in-2021-are-violent-extremists-motivated-by-race-or-anti-authority-views\/\" title=\"FBI Says Biggest Domestic Terror Threats in 2021 Are Violent Extremists Motivated by Race or Anti-Authority Views\">armed groups<\/a>, including Shia militias backed \u2062by Iran.
