WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Independent Women issued the following in response to the Israeli precision strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities:
Meaghan Mobbs, director of the Center for American Safety and Security at Independent Women, said:
“We stand with Israel. Last night’s precision strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities and senior members of the regime was an act of necessity. A nuclear-armed Iran is an existential threat not just to Israel, but to global stability and the free world.
“This operation was targeted, disciplined, and deliberate. It was not aimed at the Iranian people, but at the regime that has held them hostage for decades.
“The Iranian regime has spent years terrorizing its own people, funding regional chaos, and thumbing its nose at international law, all while inching closer to the bomb. No sovereign nation should be expected to wait patiently for its own annihilation.
“Israel acted to defend its future. And in doing so, it may have created an opening for the Iranian people to demand theirs – a future free from tyranny and from a regime that has made enemies of liberty and peace.
“We hope for peace. But peace is not possible when the world’s most dangerous weapons are in the hands of the world’s most dangerous leaders.
“Israel showed courage. The free world should show resolve.”
