GOP Rep. Mark Meadows backed the Trump administration’s recent airstrike against an Iranian General responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans Friday; saying the President sent a clear message “the days of appeasement are over.”
“Soleimani was a murderer with the blood of Americans on his hands—and plotting more attacks. Thank God for our military who eliminated him. President Trump sent a message: the days of appeasement are over. Target Americans, and you will be swiftly brought to justice,” posted Meadows on social media.

The United States launched an airstrike Thursday evening that resulted in the death of an Iranian general and other military officials at Baghdad International Airport in Iraq, according to Fox News.
“The Pentagon confirmed Thursday evening that Trump had ordered the attack that killed Soleimani and other military officials at Baghdad International Airport in Iraq. Iran’s top ‘shadow commander’ was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more, the State Department said,” reports Fox.
“I think the Iranian leadership understands President Trump will take action. … We made very clear that these responses would be swift and decisive. We have now demonstrated that. I hope the Iranian leadership will see that and see American resolve and that their decision will be to de-escalate and take actions consistent with what normal nations do. In the event that they do not and they go in the other direction, I know that President Trump and the entire United States government is prepared to respond appropriately,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“He’s got hundreds of American lives and blood on his hands. What was sitting before us was his travels throughout the region, his efforts to make a significant strike against Americans. There would have been many Muslims killed as well, Iraqis and people in other countries. It was a strike that was aimed at disrupting that plot, disrupting further aggression and we hope, setting the conditions for de-escalation as well,” he added.

NETANYAHU: ‘Israel Stands With the United States in Its Struggle for Peace and Security’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weighed-in Friday on a US airstrike that killed a senior Iranian General in Iraq; saying his country will always “stand with the United States” in its pursuit of “peace, security, and self-defense.”
“Just as Israel has the right of self-defense, the United States has exactly the same right,” Netanyahu said. “Qassem Soleimani is responsible for the death of American citizens and many other innocent people. He was planning more such attacks.”
“President Trump deserves all the credit for acting swiftly, forcefully, decisively. Israel stands with the United States in its just struggle for peace, security, and self-defense,”
