First appearance on Fox: Dozens of members of the House of Representatives have signed a resolution condemning Iran’s “brutal” regime after the Iranian government launched missile attacks against Israel over the weekend.
The bipartisan bill is led by Rep. Randy Webber (R-Texas) and co-sponsored by 141 members of the House, including Republicans and Democrats.
“Decades of Tehran’s oppressive regime destabilized the Middle East and intentionally spread chaos throughout the region, resulting in Iran’s direct attack on Israel, its largest ally,” Weber told Fox News Digital. It has come to this,” he said.

A bipartisan group of members of Congress has condemned the regime of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei after it launched rocket attacks on Israel.
“The rogue regime must be overthrown immediately. Now, more than ever, the United States is calling on the freedom-loving Iranian people who have spent decades removing these murderers from power in Tehran. Today we condemn the ungodly mullahs who are the epitome of the serpent of war and terrorism in the Middle East.”
The resolution accuses Iran of “contributing to terrorism and regional instability” in the Middle East following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, according to the bill text previewed by Fox News Digital.
It also acknowledged “the rights of the Iranian people and their struggle to establish a democratic, secular, and nuclear-free Republic of Iran,” and confirmed U.S. support for the Iranian people who demonstrated against the Islamic fundamentalist government. .

At least one senior House Republican leader, Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, RN.Y., supports the bill.
Iran launched a barrage of airstrikes against Israel over the weekend after accusing Israel of attacking diplomatic facilities in Damascus and killing at least seven officials, including the top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. 99% were intercepted.
Although no direct injuries or deaths were reported, the move marks a significant escalation in the region, marking the first attack launched against Israel from Iranian territory.

Iran’s retaliatory attack was condemned by U.S. and foreign leaders as disproportionate and brazen.
The country’s regime is accused of funding the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, whose militants invaded Israel on October 7 last year in a surprise attack that killed more than 1,000 people. The Iranian government also supports Yemen’s Houthi rebels, a militant group that attacks Western shipping in the Red Sea.
