Van Meter for Virginia

"I want to express my support for the recent targeted military action taken by the United States. This operation has significantly contributed to our safety tonight and moving forward. The core philosophy of 'peace through strength' remains pivotal in the Middle East, and this action has once again proved its effectiveness.

We extended an olive branch to Iran, offering them the chance to sit at the negotiation table. However, they chose a different path, leading to this military action. Nevertheless, we remain hopeful and committed to steering the talks back on the right path.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude and support to our brave troops who carried out this mission, and to our president who is constantly working to keep all Americans safe, both tonight and in the future. The targeted action was necessary to keep Iran's nuclear sites in check, aiming to end the ongoing conflicts and restore peace.

The ultimate goal is the safety and welfare of the American people, and I believe that today's action is a significant step towards achieving this. We will continue to do whatever it takes to ensure a stable and peaceful world for all."
