Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living in lavishly in the United States.
Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks.
Jeanette and I join our Christian brothers and sisters to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ which made a way for us to live with Him in Eternity.
President Trump delivered a powerful speech tonight. He was clear about our objectives in Iran:
• Destroy their weapons factories
• Destroy their navy
• Destroy their air force
• Destroy their chances of ever having a nuclear weapon
PRESIDENT TRUMP: From the very first day I announced my campaign for president in 2015 I avowed that I would NEVER allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. 🇺🇸
PRESIDENT TRUMP: To those countries that can’t get fuel, many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion:
1. Buy oil from AMERICA
2. Build up some delayed courage and take the Strait for yourselves

As Jews around the world gather to celebrate Passover and remember God’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt, we continue to honor the ongoing resilience and hope of the Jewish people today.
SECRETARY RUBIO: I hear these news reports that we don’t know what the objectives are, and it’s very frustrating.
Our objectives are clear: destroy their air force, navy, missile factories, and degrade their missile launchers.
From Day One, the mission was crystal clear: This was the final, best chance to wipe out Iran’s threat for good - so they can never have a nuclear weapon.
@SecRubio breaks it down ⬇️
🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement.
That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.
SECRETARY RUBIO: You’re seeing civil life come back to life in Venezuela. Independent media is now allowed to operate. Political prisoners have been released. Political parties are forming again. People are speaking and participating in public life.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Cuba has a fundamental problem that they need to understand. And we’ve tried explain it to anyone who will listen:
Their system of economics doesn’t work and you can’t change it unless you change the government.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The blackouts in Cuba have nothing to do with us.
They’re having blackouts because they have equipment from the 1950s in their grid that has never been maintained or upgraded because their leaders are incompetent.
@SecRubio Our mission is clear. Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. In my meeting with the G7 foreign ministers, I reiterated that we must meet this moment with maximum partner contributions.
Today at the G7 I reiterated that President Trump is committed to reaching a ceasefire and negotiated settlement to the Russia-Ukraine war as soon as possible.
SECRETARY RUBIO on the G7: I don’t work for France or Germany or Japan. I get along with all of them on a personal level and we work with those governments very carefully.
But the people I'm interested in making happy are the people of the United States. I work for them.
@SecRubio Earlier this month, I met Molly, Amy, and Patti as they asked for help freeing their brother Dennis Coyle from detention in Afghanistan. Today, Dennis is on his way home. We thank the UAE and Qatar for their support. The release is a positive step towards ending.
