Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) warned that “terrorism is going to come back” if President Joe Biden doesn’t focus on Iran.
Waltz expanded on congressional Republicans’ allegations that Biden has been weak on foreign policy, particularly regarding the war in Gaza. The Florida Republican suggested that Biden could enable a resurgence in terrorism if he didn’t change course.

“Israel is just going to be mowing the grass in Gaza,” he continued, referring to a controversial metaphor often used by Israeli officials to describe armed operations in Gaza. “It’s going to grow back. Terrorism is going to come back as long as Iran is flush with cash.”
Iran-linked militias have attacked U.S. forces on numerous occasions since the beginning of the war, striking American bases in Iraq and Syria. The United States has responded with retaliatory strikes, recently hitting a group of Kataib Hezbollah militants in Iraq.
