Israel is about to be attacked by Iran once more…. Deep State Speaker Johnson wants the U.S. to be more supportive.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has ramped up pressure on President Biden, insisting on an immediate release of weapons to Israel following a rocket attack that injured several U.S. service members at Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq. The incident has stirred fears and underscored the volatile nature of the region, where threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are ever-present.
“After repeated assaults on American forces in the region, and with Israel facing threats from all sides, the U.S. must not hesitate to defend our troops and our ally,” Johnson proclaimed in a blistering statement Tuesday. He stressed that any Iranian aggression against Israel or the U.S. should be met with “decisive force,” advocating for a strong and unequivocal response to Iran and its terror proxies to send a clear message.

Johnson didn’t hold back in his criticism of the current administration. “This latest bout of Iranian aggression, backed by Chinese and Russian interests, follows a sustained pressure campaign against Israel by the Biden-Harris Administration. The White House must now acknowledge their missteps have led us to the brink of disaster and extend unwavering support to Israel.”
He went on to assert, “President Biden must immediately release all previously withheld and delayed weaponry to Israel — so it can defend its people and deter Iran — and make clear that any attacks by Iran will have severe economic, military, and international repercussions.”

The Defense Department has yet to pinpoint who exactly orchestrated the rocket attack, but the finger of suspicion points towards Iranian-backed militants, who have a history of menacing U.S. forces in the region.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has lambasted the Biden administration for providing what he terms as a “trickle” of military support. The State Department, on the other hand, insists that weapons deliveries to Israel are proceeding as usual, albeit no longer on the “fast-track” status they had immediately following Hamas’s October 7 assault on Israel.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby has reiterated that there has been no shift in policy. Despite Biden’s temporary pause on heavy bomb shipments due to concerns over Gaza’s devastation, these shipments have resumed, indicating ongoing, albeit cautious, support.
Israel is the core of our National Security regardless if you’re Kamala or Trump supporter
An attack on Israel, is an attack on All of us
Protecting Israel & our interest is Protecting ourselves at home-abroad
YES to Speaker Mike Johnson

As frustrations mount with Netanyahu’s continued military actions against Hamas, particularly amidst cease-fire negotiations, the Biden administration has nonetheless fortified its military assets in the Middle East, preparing for potential retaliatory actions from Iran.
The White House has yet to respond to Johnson’s statement, but the urgency in his words is palpable. The world watches as diplomatic efforts intensify to stave off a full-scale conflict, yet the situation remains precarious, with every action weighed with significant consequences. The call for immediate and decisive support for Israel highlights the delicate balance of power and the high stakes involved in this complex geopolitical landscape.
