Representative Mark Messmer, who represents Indiana’s 8th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, said, “May God Bless Israel as they fight for their survival against those who want to eliminate them from existence. I am also praying for the brave American service members serving overseas, protecting our country from the front lines. Iran must not touch a hair on their heads.”

On the other side of the state line, Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth said, “I am closely monitoring the developing conflict between Israel and Iran as well as keeping the safety and security of U.S. forces, personnel and citizens in the region in mind. I encourage both sides to seek de-escalation in this dangerous moment for the Middle East and for global stability.”
