WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) believes that Americans must urge US President Joe Biden and his administration to avoid sparking a serious conflict with Iran amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
"Biden and the deep state are just itching to get us into a serious conflict with Iran. We have to tell them no," Massie said on X.
The US has bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, including deploying additional F-22 Raptor jets, amid tensions between Iran and Israel.

"You have to finish your Ukraine before you can have any Iran," the meme says.
