Indiana’s Congressional delegation took to X to react to President Donald Trump’s decision to decision to strike three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend.
On Saturday, the U.S. military launched a series of bombing attacks against three Iranian nuclear facilities, The Associated Press reported. Trump described the damage as “monumental,” though the U.S. assessment was unfinished.
Trump’s decision marks one of the riskiest foreign policy decisions by a U.S. president in recent memory, potentially plunging the nation back into armed conflict in the Middle East with no clear endgame, according to wire reports.
On Saturday, Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., tweeted an image of an American flag in response to Trump’s announcement of the attacks. In a separate tweet later on Saturday, the first-term senator said, “I trust President Trump!”
On Sunday, Banks seized on the U.S. strikes against Iran to criticize former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, who was appointed by Trump during his first term and continued to serve in the role during the first half of the Biden administration.
