It's also from 2018, if anyone else got the impression it was more recent.

A contemporary reaction, with some more choice quotations from Democrats:

We know that Israel would prefer to keep the sword of freedom sheathed… [But if war comes] We will stand on the side of our one true ally in the Middle East.

That's then-senator now-prisoner Robert Menendez hitting Trump from the right on Iran.

I have not seen a security situation as immediately threatening as today… … Iran [is] increasingly and aggressively challenging Israel…

When Iran and Russia challenge Israel directly they are also challenging the United States.

That's still-senator Chris [slur filter]s of Delaware.
