"Now more than ever, we must stand with Israel," former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., wrote in an X post.
Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., the highest-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that the U.S. commitment to Israel is "unwavering."
"This is the moment for the United States to show we stand together with our allies. Our shared enemies, including Iran and their proxies, need to know our commitment is unwavering," he said in a press release. "We must join with Israel to ensure that Iran’s aggression is met with resolute action and resounding strength."

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote that she "expects" the Biden administration to "hold Iran accountable."
"We stand with the people of Israel against this brazen and callous attack," Noem wrote in an X post. "Iran hates democracy, freedom, and basic human rights — making them an enemy of Israel and the United States."
"I expect the Biden Administration to stand up for these shared principles and hold Iran accountable," she wrote.
Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., wrote that the attacks against Israel were a "direct result" of Biden's "lack of leadership."
"Iran just launched drone strikes on innocent Israeli civilians. This is a direct result of Joe Biden’s lack of leadership," Mast wrote in an X post. "The White House should be standing resolutely with Israel. Instead, they’ve spent months kissing up to the terrorist regime in Tehran to appease a few loud, far-left, and anti-American lawmakers in Congress."

"Last week, President Biden sent a definitive message to Iran about this pending attack: ‘don’t.' I reiterate what Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made clear to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant just last week - Israel has America's full support in defending against Iranian aggression," Hoyer wrote in a press release.
"We stand by our ally as it exercises its absolute right to defend itself," he said.
U.S. officials have reaffirmed their country’s "ironclad" support for Israel while calling for a deescalation.

"We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed," Biden said on Friday.
