Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell crossed the partisan divide and voiced support for President Biden’s decision to carry out airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militias in Syria.

“I support President Biden’s decision to authorize strikes against facilities associated with Iranian-backed terrorist groups responsible for attacks against American interests in Iraq,” the Kentucky Republican said. “We will need more information to judge the efficacy of the strikes and the signal they send to Tehran and its proxies, but I believe the President acted well within the authorities of his office.”
