Turner expressed his concerns\u2064 during an interview \u2063on NBC News&#8217;s &#8220;Meet The Press,&#8221; highlighting\u200b Iran&#8217;s recent large-scale attack\u2064 on Israel. Turner \u200balso highlighted the administration&#8217;s\u200b response to previous attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) blasted the Biden administration over the weekend for its weakness toward Iran, warning that the administration was emboldening and empowering Iran\u2019s terror throughout the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Turner made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News\u2019s \u201cMeet The Press\u201d while talking about Iran\u2019s unprecedented attack on Israel Saturday night, which included 185 one-way suicide drones, 110 surface-to-surface missiles, and 36 cruise missiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the Biden Administration\u2019s view is that if you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">missile defense<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-bodys-best-defense-on-overdrive\/\" title=\"The Body\u2019s Best Defense, on Overdrive\">attack didn\u2019<\/a>t happen,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the way they reacted to the over 100 attacks that have occurred on U.S. troops from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-border-threat-so-taboo-that-few-dare-speak-of-it\/\" title=\"A Border Threat So Taboo That Few Dare Speak Of It\">terrorist groups<\/a> and organizations in Iraq and Syria, resulting in three deaths of American troops in Jordan, all by \u2013 by Iranian-backed groups and organizations. I think the administration needs to take seriously that this attack has happened. It\u2019s unprecedented. And certainly, it needs to be viewed as an escalation. This is an escalating conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welker repeatedly interrupted throughout the interview to defend the Biden administration and claimed that it carried out \u201cmore than 100\u201d counterattacks on Iranian proxies throughout the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not necessarily true,\u201d Turner fired back. \u201cSo they \u2013 what the Biden Administration said is, if there are deaths, if American troops are hit, they\u2019re going to respond. Over 100 attacks on American troops, they did not respond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael has been under attack \u2013 under attack by Iran, for decades,\u201d he said. \u201cThey fund and train Hezbollah. They fund and train Hamas, Hamas which undertook the October 7th attacks into Israel that were just, you know, vicious in a number of deaths in the manner in which it was executed, all as a result of they were trained, funded, and given weapons by Iran. So this has already been an ongoing conflict, where Israel understands that they have been under siege and under attack by Iran. It\u2019s the first time, though, that they have attacked directly from Iran. And certainly, this is an escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is already escalating and the administration needs to respond,\u201d Turner said. \u201cOver 300 weapons were shot from Iran at Israel. This is an escalating conflict. The administration \u2013 because we were successful, because we invested in missile-defense technology with Israel, the administration is acting like, \u2018Well, you know, done. We defended Israel against these attacks. This is not escalating.\u2019 This is escalating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turner said what the Biden administration needed to understand was that Iran has \u201calready taken the next step\u201d and if there is no response then that will be giving them \u201ca free pass\u201d which will lead to more attacks.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a recent interview on NBC News&#8217;s &#8220;Meet The Press,&#8221; House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) strongly criticized the Biden administration for its perceived leniency towards Iran.
