Louisiana leaders are responding to air strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel over the weekend.
President Donald Trump says the attacks are intended to destroy Iran's military capabilities and prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Iran's "reign of terror is over." House Speaker Mike Johnson said, "Iran is facing the severe consequences of its evil actions."
U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy and U.S. Representative Julia Letlow, both Republicans, praised the action. Democratic U.S. Representative Troy Carter sounded a more cautionary note.
