00:00It's too soon to assess the impact fully, but I utterly condemn this attempt by the Iranian regime
00:08to harm innocent Israelis, to escalate this incredibly dangerous situation
00:14and push the region ever closer to the brink. It cannot be tolerated. We stand with Israel
00:23and we recognize her right to self-defense in the face of this aggression.
00:29Iran must stop these attacks together with its proxies like Hezbollah. Iran has menaced the
00:36Middle East for far too long. Chaos and destruction brought not just to Israel
00:43but to the people they live amongst in Lebanon and beyond.
