From Fox News:
One week into the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, two Republican senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee say the military operation has “degraded” Tehran’s ability to strike back.
But in exclusive interviews with Fox News Digital, Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Ted Budd of North Carolina emphasized that the fighting will not lead to U.S. involvement in “forever wars” in the volatile Middle East.
Budd and Scott were interviewed as they attended an economic conference in Florida hosted by the Club for Growth, an influential and politically potent conservative group that pushes for fiscal responsibility.
“Our military is doing a great job,” Scott said, adding that Iran wants “to destroy America.”
“We’ve got to stop them,” he said.
Budd said the U.S has “significantly degraded Iran’s ability to shoot back at us… their capacities are degraded. We’ve had great success.”
“Trump doesn’t want to be in forever wars,” Scott said. “Every time I’ve talked to him, he doesn’t want that. But I think what we do want to make sure we don’t have another Ayatollah that wants to… chant Death to America and death to our allies and try to destroy us.”
Budd agreed that “we’re not up for forever wars.”
“We want to get in, get this thing done, get out and have peace for our country and the rest of the region,” he said.
“Trump’s doing the right thing. He’s saving American lives by making sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon or ballistic missile. So he’s doing the right thing,” Scott emphasized.
Budd added, “I’m very excited [about] what President Trump’s done… The goal is American prosperity and American safety, and that’s what President Trump wants.”
