Conflict broke out between Israel, the United States and Iran on Saturday after the U.S. and Israel launched missiles at Iran. Iran has since retaliated by hitting Israel and several American bases in other countries throughout the region.
Rep. Rick Crawford cites 47-year history of Iranian aggression to push back on critics of U.S. attacks: “President Trump is not starting a war. He's finishing one.”
The clarification comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told lawmakers Monday that Israel's plan to strike Iran prompted the United States to take preemptive action to protect troops stationed in the Middle East.
