DEFENDING AMERICAN FAMILIES

DEFENDING AMERICAN FAMILIES

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 41 (Wednesday, March 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 41 (Wednesday, March 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H2378] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] DEFENDING AMERICAN FAMILIES (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Tehran regime is the head of the snake of terrorism worldwide, chanting death to America. They have targeted, kidnapped, wounded, and killed thousands of Americans for 47 years. President Donald Trump repeatedly sought peace, but the Iranian regime boasted of 11 nuclear bombs, as exposed by talented Envoy Steve Witkoff. As a result, President Trump made the decision with Israel to launch Operation Epic Fury, defending American families. The objectives are clear: destroy the missile capabilities, annihilate the naval assets, and ensure that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. Senior Iranian despots and murderous Khamenei have been destroyed. We grieve for the courageous servicemembers wounded and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump is reiterating peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump as Putin declares solidarity with the Iranian mass murderers. Our prayers are with devoted Indiana Congressman Jim Baird upon the loss of his wife, Danise. ____________________
