KCII News spoke with US Senator Chuck Grassley about the ongoing military conflict between Iran and Israel, “Well, I think first of all the United States shouldn’t be telling Israel how to defend themselves and win their wars. And I think that considering a lot of people are worried about this today because there is a lot of killing going on in Gaza, but remember, there wouldn’t be one person dead today if Gaza and Hamas had not invaded Israel. And Israel has a right to defend itself. And I think that until they get all of the Hamas military destroyed, killed, that they are not going to be able to say that Israel is really safe from Hamas.” On April 1st, Israel bombed an Iranian consulate annex in Damascus, Syria, killing multiple senior Iranian officials. In response, Iran and its proxies launched strikes inside Israel on April 13th.
