Rep. Gimenez: Arab Allies Shooting Down Missiles from Iran Is a ‘Good Thing’
EXCERPT:
GIMENEZ: "Look, Iran is the state that‘s causing most of the problems in the Middle East. They fund Hezbollah, they fund Hamas. You know, unfortunately, because we‘re not enforcing some of the sanctions against Iran, there actually selling 500% more of their oil and using that money against Israel, against our interests. And so, yeah, I think that that was a very good sign that Arab states, in particular, took part in shooting down these drones. And it was also a signal to Iran that, 'Hey, we‘re not with you on this fight and don‘t use our airspace and don‘t try to get us involved, and we‘re going to shoot down your stuff so this doesn‘t escalate beyond what we have right now, because then it can spill over into our area, into our territory and involve our country.' So, yeah, I thought that was very good — very good thing."
