Wagner Stands with President Trump on His Decision to Strike Iran’s Nuclear Facilities

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) released the following statement on today’s strikes targeting Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities:

“Iran was given every chance to get rid of its nuclear program, but instead of choosing peace the Ayatollah embraced violence and chaos. President Trump was absolutely right to send our bombers in and strike the Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities, and this decision will save American lives and protect our national security. He and I are in full agreement that we must achieve peace through strength, and today’s decisive strikes are a testament to that shared commitment. Iran cannot and will not have nuclear weapons and today is a direct result of the Ayatollah’s reckless choices.  I’d like to thank our Missouri-based B-2 pilots, as well as all the men and women of our military who put their lives on the line today, for their critical role in this historic mission. Today’s success is due to the strength and training of our Armed Forces, may God bless you all.”
