Washington, DC –  House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican Michael McCaul has released the following statement on tonight’s airstrikes in Syria.

“I called for the administration to respond to the recent attacks on U.S. and coalition targets, and I commend them for doing just that. Responses like this are a necessary deterrent and remind Iran, its proxies, and our adversaries around the world that attacks on U.S. interests will not be tolerated. I thank the president and our service members for protecting Americans overseas.”
