Ted Cruz, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/sen-cruz-condemns-iran-attack-on-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cIran has encircled Israel and has been attacking our Israeli allies from almost every front for months. They have launched attacks from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, the West Bank, Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, and of course the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz continued, \u201cNow they have escalated by launching attacks directly from Iranian territory. These attacks are enabled and financed by deliberate policy choices made by Joe Biden and Biden officials, who have allowed roughly $100 billion to flow to Iran since 2021. Americans and Israelis have been made catastrophically more vulnerable by these policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Republican concluded, \u201cNevertheless, there is no doubt that Iran has made a huge mistake in attacking America\u2019s closest ally in the Middle East.
