We need a policy to deter future hostage taking and one that contains, not enables, Iranian aggression.

The United States needs to do more to support the people of Iran and these protesters.

The Iranian regime, war criminal Putin, and the Chinese Communist Party are working together to destroy America and our allies.

Let me be abundantly clear. The Americans held by Iran are innocent hostages who must be released immediately and unconditionally.

A nuclear Iran, let me say, is unacceptable and I will have a resolution on the floor stating it's a policy of the United States that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable.

Time and again, this Administration continues to project weakness on the world stage and weakness, as we know from history, only invites aggression.

I urge the passage of our bipartisan bill the REGIME Act to stop regime officials who hate and threaten America from enjoying the luxuries they seek to destroy.

Her murder is a tragedy and an outrage and it sparked a revolution, a revolution I hope we can continue because the people of Iran are oppressed by this theocracy.

I believe that perception is eroding in the mind of Iran's strategic decisionmakers.

I want them to be with their moms and dads.

Why would you not afford the same protections to a foreign child whose inside of our country? I don't care how they got there.
