Republicans have criticized President Biden following Iran's attack on Israel, suggesting his approach lacks deterrence. The attack involved over 300 missiles and drones launched by Iran in response to an airstrike killing a senior Iranian official in Syria. Despite Biden's warning to Iran, the attack proceeded, leading to GOP accusations of presidential weakness.
Israeli defense forces intercepted most Iranian weapons, with preparations made for potential retaliation. Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Nancy Mace condemned Biden's response, advocating for stronger support for Israel. Rep. Dan Crenshaw highlighted the importance of deterrence in foreign policy, criticizing any signals of reduced support for allies.
