Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis has issued a statement following recent U.S. military action in Iran. In her remarks, Malliotakis supported the operation and criticized Iran’s approach to international negotiations.
“The United States has taken decisive and courageous action against Iran to defend our citizens, interests, and partners after the leading state sponsor of terrorism would not negotiate in good faith or commit to diplomacy over nuclear capabilities.
Iran is responsible for attacks that have killed American civilians and service members and its continuous declarations of “Death to America” while pursuing advanced nuclear capabilities threaten the United States and our allies.
The United States, the Middle East and the world will be a safer and more peaceful place when the oppressive and murderous Iranian regime is eliminated. May God bless our troops as they conduct this courageous and noble mission.”
Malliotakis represents New York’s 11th district in Congress, a position she has held since 2021 after succeeding Max Rose. Before her time in Congress, she served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2021. Born in New York City in 1980, Malliotakis currently resides in Staten Island. She earned her undergraduate degree at Seton Hall University before attending Wagner College.
