Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) called on the White House to act more forcefully against Iran and to thwart their plans to wreak havoc on Israel.
"We must send a clear, unified, and public message: Israel is our friend, and Israel’s enemies are our enemies," Boehner said at a press conference early Thursday.
He continued, "The Obama administration is pursuing nuclear negotiations with Iran, and there are some who believe that the administration should engage the Iranians to help deal with the situation in Iraq. In light of that, let me restate this: Israel is our friend, and Israel’s enemies are our enemies."
Boehner reiterated Republicans’ focus to stop Iran from acting further. Republicans’ continue to press the White House "to do more to counter Iran’s support for terrorists and efforts to destabilize key U.S. allies in the region," he said.
