SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The White House announced U.S. warplanes dropped bombs on nuclear sites in Iran Saturday.

South Dakota’s U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson commented on the strikes on “X” saying, “President Trump’s decisive action sends a strong message that America is back to leading by peace through strength. I commend our military’s precise strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities to ensure Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons.”

U.S. Senator Mike Rounds agreed saying, “Iran’s only purpose in obtaining nuclear weapons was to threaten the United States and Israel. President Trump made the right move in eliminating this threat.”

U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune supported Trump’s actions saying in a press release, “Iran which has committed itself to bringing ‘death to America’ and wiping Israel off the map, has rejected all diplomatic pathways to peace. We take action tonight to ensure a nuclear weapon remains out of reach for Iran.”

Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem took to “X” also supporting Trump, saying, “We will work unceasingly to protect the American homeland.”
