The United States is now shifting some of its military resources in the Middle East after Israel attacked nuclear and missile sites in Iran last night.

Iran is now bombing Israel after Israel use drones and warplanes to attack facilities and target generals and scientists in Iran.

Israel says the attack was necessary to stop Iran's nuclear program.

Most Republicans in Kentucky's congressional delegation, but not all, back Israel's action.

Senator Mitch McConnell says America must stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel.

Here's a statement from Congressman James Comer of Kentucky's first congressional district.

Quote, a nuclear armed Iran is a danger the world cannot afford.

We must remain committed to preventing that outcome through strength and unity, unquote.

This from Congressman Brett Guthrie of the second district.

As the world's largest state sponsor of terror, Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

I stand with our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, as it takes decisive action to protect its citizens and put an end to Iranian aggression.

Congressman Andy Barr of the sixth district posted this quote Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Credit to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their peace through strength policies.

I stand with our greatest ally, Israel, as they fight another existential threat.

End quote.

Not all Republicans support Israel's move.

Here's a post from Congressman Thomas Massie of the fourth Congressional District.

Quote, Israel doesn't need U.S. taxpayers money for defense if it already has enough to start offensive wars.

I vote not to fund this war of aggression, unquote.

U.S.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky appears to be concerned the U.S. could be drawn into a war in the Middle East.

He says, quote, war with Iran is not in America's interest.

It would destabilize the region, cost countless lives, and drain our resources for generations.

We should pursue diplomacy, not destruction.

Engaging in dialog with adversaries is not weakness.

It's the strength of a confident nation seeking peace.

Our primary responsibility is to protect American lives in quote.
