Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who recently returned from leading a congressional delegation to Saudi Arabia and Israel, told Newsmax on Thursday that the reason Iran is the foremost sponsor of terrorism around the world is because it fears peace in the Middle East.
"This was an incredible delegation — bipartisan, bicameral," Ernst said during an appearance on Newsmax's "The Record with Greta Van Susteren." "We left on this trip to visit many of those Arab nations across the Middle East and Israel to express our support of the Abraham Accords and to further press on a peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
"Hamas is a terrorist organization," she continued. "What Iran fears the most is peace in the Middle East, and I believe that is why they continue to fund these proxies, these terrorists, like Hamas, Hezbollah. ... They're trying to disrupt wherever they can so we really have to hold Iran accountable and then help the Israelis."
"This administration under President Biden and his leadership has really led the way into all-out appeasement on Iran, which enables them to support these terrorist proxies all around the globe," Ernst said. "For heaven's sakes, Hamas gets 93% of their funding directly from Iran and to the point of sanctions on Iranian oil, you're right.
