Republican Senator Roger Wicker has warned Iran against targeting American troops amid rising tensions in the Middle East, saying the U.S. military is prepared for any retaliatory strikes.
U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stated that American forces in the Middle East are ready to respond to any retaliation from Iran against Israel.
“The single worst decision Iran could make now is to target American service members,” Wicker wrote on X, adding that he is “confident” the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) have prepared American troops in the region for the current threat environment.
His remarks come amid heightened tensions following Israeli strikes and expectations of potential Iranian retaliation. Wicker voiced full support for Israel’s actions and placed the blame for the broader conflict squarely on Tehran.
“Iran’s sprint to become a nuclear threat to America and our allies, while leading the world in proliferating terrorism, is the cause of this conflict,” he said.
The comments underscore growing concern in Washington over a wider regional escalation, particularly involving U.S. military personnel stationed in key locations across the Middle East.
