KNOXVILLE, Tenn., (October 1, 2024) – Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement about Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel:

“The United States needs to stand fully with Israel as it defends itself against Iran’s attacks. For our part, it’s time to start playing hardball with Iran. We need to cut off their resources and make sure they don’t come out of this unscathed.”

On October 1, 2024, Iran launched a series of ballistic missiles toward Israel. An Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson said, “The IDF is doing and will continue to do everything necessary to protect the civilians of Israel.”

The situation is currently ongoing.
