Gov. Lombardo, Nevada officials address President Trump's decision to strike Iranian nuclear sites

“While we wait to learn more about the results of U.S. strikes on Iran and whether or not we have damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure beyond repair, I thank our U.S. servicemembers for carrying out this limited, targeted, and hopefully decisive action.

“The Iranian Regime has made it clear that they will do everything in their power to destroy the United States and Israel, and their nuclear program has been a means to that end. That is why I have never wavered in my firm belief that Iran cannot be allowed to develop or obtain a nuclear weapon.

“As we await confirmation of the impact of last night’s mission, the President must involve Congress before taking any further U.S. military action against Iran and must respect Congress’s sole constitutional role in the authorization of the use of force. I look forward to being briefed by the Administration this week on the intelligence that led to U.S. strikes and how we plan to protect American servicemembers from retaliation."

"My thoughts are with our servicemembers who carried out these strikes, and I continue to pray for the safety of U.S. troops and personnel still in the region.”

"Our service members completed a highly dangerous and complicated mission in Iran and I commend them for their bravery.

As we wait for intelligence about how successful these strikes were, my first priority is keeping Americans safe. The administration must come before Congress with a detailed plan for how to protect our service members and bases overseas, prevent Iran from restarting their nuclear program, and get Iran back to the negotiating table diplomatically. I stand ready to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure we continue to support Israel and keep Americans and our allies safe. But this administration must not push the U.S. into a war with Iran."

"While I await a briefing on the intelligence that led to the strikes and on the status of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, I remain firm in my commitment that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.

It cannot be forgotten that the Iranian regime is responsible for funding global terrorism and killing Americans. The regime’s goal is to access nuclear weapons to use against America, Israel, and our other allies. I'm grateful that no U.S. servicemembers were harmed this weekend during the strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

As always, and especially now with Iran launching missiles toward U.S. bases in the Middle East, the safety of our servicemembers in the region should be the White House’s top priority. My thoughts are with our troops and their families back home. America’s ultimate goal must be peace."

“Our armed forces deserve unwavering support from civilian leaders – they earn that right through incredible sacrifices to self and family. Right now, air sirens are blaring at U.S. bases across the Middle East because President Trump ignored the dangers that his impulsive air strikes posed for our military personnel. The President has no authority to entangle the United States in a new war, and Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

“Trump’s unilateral use of force threatens our troops, undermines our leadership on the world stage, and flies in the face of our Constitution. This Administration must be held accountable, and Congress must assert itself to ensure the American people have a voice in decisions of war and peace.”
