Email from Rep. McCaul Israel’s Strikes on Iran: A Significant Setback for Iranian Nuclear Ambitions President Trump gave Iran every chance to negotiate in good faith and to dismantle their nuclear program. Instead, Iran announced just this week that they would construct a new nuclear enrichment site. Last night, Israel took action to defend itself from a potential nuclear attack by striking Iranian nuclear sites and military leadership — including their top military official. Prime Minister Netanyahu was also clear: The alternative to diplomacy would be strikes on Iran — a message he reiterated to me when I met with him this month. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime chose not to take the path of peace, prioritizing its nuclear ambitions over the well-being of its own people. They brought this calamity on themselves. One thing is certain: Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon, and our world is safer for it. They would be wise to come to the table and make an agreement with President Trump while the offer still stands. If they instead choose to harm U.S. troops in the region, they will once again regret that decision. I discussed my recent trip to the Middle East and my conversations with Netanyahu on Fox News Sunday last weekend with Shannon Bream. We also covered updates on the war in Ukraine and President Trump’s effort to put a stop to the border crisis.

During our visit, we met with FIFA staff and White House officials and held a robust discussion on ways to enhance public safety at this summer’s events — from facilitating swift information sharing and detecting unauthorized drone use to preventing lone wolf attacks. As our nation prepares to host millions of international visitors for major events, we must create safe experiences that showcase the United States’ leadership and commitment to excellence. With terrorist incidents on the rise across our nation, I’m proud this task force — which includes colleagues who served in our military and as first responders — is laying the groundwork to secure our mass-spectator events by ensuring all levels of government, law enforcement, and private-sector partners are well-equipped to detect and mitigate threats. I look forward to using my counter terrorism experience as the chairman emeritus of the Homeland Security Committee and the former chief of counter terrorism and national security in the U.S. attorney's office to help ensure these events are executed seamlessly and safely.
