               CONDEMNING IRAN'S RECENT ATTACK ON ISRAEL

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to vehemently condemn 
Iran's recent attack on Israel and express unwavering support for our 
closest ally in the Middle East, Israel, as they confront forces of 
evil.
  Over the weekend, Iran launched a massive missile and drone attack 
directly at Israel for the first time in history. These heinous attacks 
threaten to further destabilize the region, risking an all-out war 
between Israel and Iran.
  By the grace of God, Israel's Iron Dome system intercepted 99 percent 
of the missiles and drones aimed at them. However, the looming threat 
from Iran persists.
  Now more than ever, it is imperative for the United States to stand 
by our ally and provide them with the necessary support to thwart bad 
actors who undermine their sovereignty, including Iran and the Iran-
funded terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
