"When this regime took power, the first thing they did was hold 66 American hostages for over a year. Three years later, they killed hundreds of our Marines in Lebanon. All with us taking no action at all against Iran. It is a murderous, terrorist regime that's threatened peace, security, and prosperity in the Middle East for 47 years."
"You simply can't let them become this superpower that can't be knocked off its pedestal, or else the world is forever held hostage to Iran. As they ramp up their missile program to shield a nuclear weapons development program, the stakes for international security continue to escalate."
Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared on Fox News to discuss U.S. and Israeli operations against Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has struck vessels in the strategic waterway, blocking enemy tankers from transporting oil. Wright characterized Iran as a murderous terrorist regime with a 47-year history of threatening peace and security in the Middle East, citing hostage-taking and attacks on American forces. Host Laura Ingraham pressed Wright for specific solutions to address ongoing Iranian attacks on ships and the resulting insurance market disruptions affecting crew safety and commercial shipping operations.
