Chairman Mast on Iran Strikes

February 28, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement on the strikes on Iran.

“Today’s strikes are the inescapable response to 47 years of continuous and calculated aggression by the Ayatollah of Iran and all his generals against the United States, our allies, and the Iranian people. Every day under this regime, the United States and our allies have been under imminent threat of attack by Iran and its terrorist arms across the globe. They chanted ‘Death to America’ while seeking nuclear weapons and the missile technology to strike our homeland.

The days of America waiting to be attacked by Iran are over.”
