Mark Kelly · U.S. Senate, Arizona ·
Statement on Israeli strikes against targets in Iran
“It’s unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. President Trump killing the Iran nuclear agreement accelerated Iran’s development towards a bomb. Israel has a right to defend itself, but my hope has been that another agreement could be reached.”
