- Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has advocated for a “massive retaliation” against Iran and urged President Biden to adopt a more robust approach in response to the series of attacks on U.S. assets in the region.
- Cotton criticized the president for opting for a measured response to Iran, which has not directly targeted the U.S. but has utilized proxies since the conflict erupted in Israel.
- In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Cotton expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, “We’ve only hit back a few times. When we do hit back, it’s almost always at empty proxy warehouses or maybe proxy forces in Iraq and Syria.”
