I realize and appreciate the difficult decisions President @realDonaldTrump has to face regarding Iran’s multiple provocations.

However, when it comes to the Middle East, people rightly talk about the “Cost of Action” but they seldom mention the “Cost of Inaction.”
I have found that “Inaction” in the face of evil and provocation ultimately has its own cost.

This was best displayed by President Obama’s miscalculation in Iraq and “Inaction” in Syria.
When it comes to the Middle East, there are seldom good choices. But in some instances, failing to act can prove to be the most dangerous choice of all.

Much heartache and tragedy here at home, but we can’t afford to lose our focus on threats coming from overseas.
The IG report about the reemergence of ISIS in Syria is chilling, and a lack of sufficient forces to contain the threat should be addressed immediately by the Trump Administration.
The caliphate has been destroyed, but the ISIS insurgency is still a threat to American interests at home and abroad. I urge the Trump Administration to take this report seriously and not repeat mistakes of the Obama Administration when it comes to radical Islam.

Really appreciate talking with Senator McConnell today and appreciate his desire to find bipartisan solutions after these tragic shootings. 1/3
Senator McConnell is seeking solutions rather than political blame, and is prepared to work with Democrats in the House and Senate
to put legislation on the President's desk that will help the problem. 2/3
I will do all I can as Judiciary Chairman to follow Senator McConnell's call to action. 3/3

El Paso shooting is sick and senseless.

Time to do more than pray. Time to enact common-sense legislation in Congress to empower states to deal with those who present a danger to themselves and others — while respecting robust due process.

(1/2)
May not have mattered here, but Red Flag laws have proven to be effective in states that have them. (2/2)

For me, as is known: the international community cares only when its interests are directly threatened.

Never ever think that the international community has moral principles.

Iran has been killing & displacing millions in the Middle East & only
the Arab coalition cares.
Iran has been spreading terrorism globally but the international community rushed to sign agreement to protect #Mullahs terrorism because the it’s Middle East people bloods.
#Iraq, #Syria #Yemen etc.

Only President Trump stood up with Arab Coalition.

Thank you Mr. President.
The terrorists #Mullahs of #Iran regime have been bragging about accusing 🇸🇦 #SaudiArabia with all planet issues in public and almost no one stood up to expose Iran evil except 🇸🇦 #SaudiArabia.

5. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

Regarding Terhan’s announcement on the nuclear deal today:
1/12- The remarks by the Iranian regime’s President Hassan Rouhani and the statement by its Supreme National Security Council concerning the refusal to abide by limitations on stockpiling....
#Iran #IranDeal
2/12- … enriched uranium and heavy water are a blatant violation of the nuclear deal with the P5+1 countries and the United Nations Security Council’s resolution 2231.
#Iran #IranDeal
3/12- The development again underscores the need for the complete shutting down of uranium enrichment &heavy water production projects as well as dismantling the regime’s nuclear sites and conducting anytime, anywhere inspections of all suspect sites, military or otherwise.

#Iran sponsors terrorism and is continuing aggression in Middle East and around the world, says @POTUS.
“This radical regime has raided the wealth of one of the world’s oldest and most vibrant nations.”
“The Iranian dictatorship’s aggression continues to this very day."
