On the recordMarch 4, 2026
Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, the world watched President Donald Trump take courageous action against the murderous regime in Tehran; eliminating Khamenei with senior Iranian regime leaders, the architect of decades of terror, repression, and aggression, killing thousands of Americans and allies over the years. The removal of this brutal dictator marks a pivotal moment in the long struggle against a regime that has destabilized the Middle East and threatened global security for more than four decades, repressing the great people of Iran. Additionally, with the removal of the Syrian dictator Assad, who has fled to Moscow, appropriately, to be with war criminal Putin, we now have a new government in Syria with Ahmed al-Sharaa. With that government, President Donald Trump is leading a bipartisan effort to give Syria a chance and give the Middle East a chance for peace and prosperity. Again, it is bipartisan, working together. My appreciation of the courageous decision by President Donald Trump to remove the dictatorship in Tehran is personal.
