In response to the recent drone attack that killed three U.S. soldiers, Florida Republican Congressman Mike Walsh has outlined his opinion on how the country should respond. Walsh, who is a member of the House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence Committee, expressed concern that targeting Iranian proxies alone has not been effective in deterring future attacks. He believes that hitting Iranian assets directly is necessary.
According to Walsh, hitting Iranian assets does not mean sending troops into Iran or even acting solely within its borders. He suggests targeting Iranian operatives operating across the Middle East, including Qassem Soleimani's successor in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Additionally, he suggests striking command and control nodes that Iran uses to communicate with its proxies, as well as production facilities for the drones that are distributed to various militias.
