Congressman Dan Newhouse issued a statement following a briefing on Wednesday about the attacks by Iran on U.S. installations in Iraq. Newhouse addresses the U.S. killing of Qasem Soleimani saying he was an enemy of the United States and his death signifies American strength against his threats, attacks, and acts of global terrorism. Regarding the base attacks Newhouse said while it appears threats of retaliation have subsided, Congress must stay vigilant and informed should further action by the U.S. be required.
