- 🎯 Congressman Byron Donalds asserts President Trump's decision to strike Iran was correct and necessary due to Iran enriching uranium to high levels.

- 🇺🇸 He contrasts the Trump administration's actions with those of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, stating Trump negotiated in good faith but the Iranians did not reciprocate.
AOC's Impeachment Demand
- 🤡 Donalds dismisses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's call for Trump's impeachment as "so stupid" and a bid for media attention.
- 🗣️ He points out the hypocrisy of Democrats, who did not criticize Obama's air strikes in Libya and Syria, while now questioning Trump's constitutional authority.
- 🏛️ Donalds clarifies that the President, as Commander-in-Chief, has the constitutional authority for military strikes in the nation's key interest, and the War Powers Act does not obstruct this.
Iran's Nuclear Ambitions
- 💣 The congressman highlights Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile systems, not for display but to project power globally.
- ⚠️ Donalds emphasizes that the US could not allow a "terror factory" like Iran to obtain nuclear capabilities.
Legislative Timetable

- ✅ He expresses confidence that Congress can address both issues, stating that unless the Senate acts quickly, the bill may go to conference but will likely be resolved soon.
