Cotton: Biden’s Appeasement of Iran Allowed U.S. Deaths, Devastating Retaliation Necessary

Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after an attack in Jordan by Iran-backed militants killed three U.S. service members and injured 25:

“Joe Biden emboldened Iran for years by tolerating attacks on our troops, bribing the ayatollahs with billions of dollars, and appeasing them to no end. He left our troops as sitting ducks and now three are dead and dozens wounded, sadly as I’ve predicted would happen for months. The only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East. Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.

“On behalf of Arkansans, I extend my deepest condolence to the families of our brave fallen warriors. May God comfort them as He welcomes their loved ones into His embrace. And may God quickly and completely heal their wounded comrades.”
