A nuclear Iran has always been an unacceptable outcome.”Please join me in prayer for all our men and women in uniform and our allies and partners around the globe. May God bless and keep them safe now and always.”Sen. Thom Tillis”The Iranian regime has spent decades as the world\u2019s leading sponsor of terrorism, systematically destabilizing the Middle East while calling for the death of America.”President Trump has rightfully determined that this theocratic dictatorship cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons and continue to slaughter its own citizens who simply want freedom. I expect all members of Congress will soon be briefed about Operation Epic Fury and determine whether a broader scope and further military action requires an authorization by Congress.”We owe a profound debt of gratitude to the men and women of our Armed Forces and our coalition partners.”Congressman Addison McDowell”Rachel & I are praying for our service members as they execute Operation Epic Fury.”WXII has reached out to additional North Carolina leaders\u2019 offices and is waiting to hear back.This story may be updated when more information becomes available.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
