House Passes Resolution Condemning Iran's Attack on Israel, Supports Israel's Self-Defense Right

The House passed a resolution condemning Iran's drone and missile attack on Israel and supporting Israel's right to self-defense, without a specific party being the driving force.

This is about the U.S. House of Representatives saying they do not agree with and are against Iran's drone and missile attack on Israel that happened on April 13, 2024. Iran sent over 350 missiles and drones towards Israel. This attack is a part of a series of attacks against Israel and the United States troops by groups supported by Iran.

The resolution highlights several key points:

  1. Most of the missiles and drones Iran fired at Israel were stopped by Israel and its friends, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan. This prevented a lot of harm.
  2. The United States and other countries helped Israel stop these attacks by providing advanced defense systems.
  3. The U.S. House says that Israel should be able to defend itself. They want all countries to say clearly that Iran's attack was wrong.
  4. They praise the efforts of the United States military, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan for stopping the missiles and drones.
  5. The U.S. promises to keep helping Israel stay safe, including selling them defense equipment and helping them in other ways.
  6. They want to make sure Iran is not able to get weapons or support terrorist groups. The U.S. will use sanctions to try to stop Iran from these actions.
  7. Finally, the U.S. House is ready to provide any urgent help Israel needs to stay safe and handle this situation.
