GOP lawmakers, leaders react to Israel's retaliatory strikes against Iran: 'America stands with Israel'

"America continues to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our great ally Israel in the face of terror," he wrote.

"God Bless Israel as it seeks to defend itself against the evil Iranian regime for these vicious attacks over the past year and decades prior, only emboldened by the weak Biden-Harris admin that allegedly leaked their plans," Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wrote.  "The U.S. must stand with Israel today and always."

"The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since Oct. 7 - on seven fronts - including direct attacks from Iranian soil," the IDF said in a statement.

"Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized. We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel."
