America must defend Israel.
Defend Israel and oppose any Iranian path to a nuclear weapon.

Stand With Israel
Israel is American’s one true ally in the Middle East and should have every right to defend itself against hostile actors, including Hamas. Iran should have no path to a nuclear weapon while its proxies in the Middle East should all be labeled as terrorist organizations. America must defend Israel.
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Rep. Wesley Hunt as an original cosponsor of H.Res.771 on 2023-10-11. The resolution passed the House on 2023-10-25 by 412-10, and its summary says it stands with Israel, reaffirms Israel's right to self-defense and U.S. commitment to Israel's security, supports emergency assistance to Israel, and urges full enforcement of Iran sanctions to prevent Iran's funding of terrorist groups.
Congress.gov lists H.R.1422 as the Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025, with the official title imposing sanctions on persons engaged in logistical transactions and sanctions evasion relating to Iranian oil, gas, LNG, and petrochemical products. The cosponsor list includes Rep. Wesley Hunt [R-TX-38] on 2025-03-03, and the listed subjects include Iran, nuclear weapons, sanctions, and terrorism.
Assessments
Hunt took concrete federal legislative action aligned with the promise: he was an original cosponsor of H.Res.771 in October 2023, which passed the House and expressed support for Israel, Israel's self-defense, emergency assistance, and enforcement of Iran sanctions. He also later cosponsored the 2025 Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act, aimed at tightening sanctions tied to Iranian energy transactions and sanctions evasion. However, the strongest completed action was a House resolution, not a durable enacted policy preventing an Iranian nuclear path, and the 2025 sanctions bill remained introduced rather than enacted. This supports partial fulfillment with documented effort, not full delivery.
