34 yrs ago, on Mar 17, the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires was bombed, killing 29 innocent lives. The Islamic Republic of Iran was deemed responsible for the heinous terrorist act. We honor the victims of this attack and countless others committed by the regime. #IranTerrorism

This is one of my favorite anecdotes from this job. 36 years ago, President George HW Bush received the President of Bolivia, Jaime Paz (accompanied by his young sons) at the White House, and Paz gave Bush a golden family cross. Bush wrote Paz a characteristically gracious thank-you note and said that he would give instructions to return the family heirloom when one of the Paz boys became President. As fate would have it, one of them, Rodrigo Paz, was elected President of Bolivia last year. The Bush Library promptly contacted us, and yesterday in Doral @SecRubio returned the cross to the new President Paz with a copy of the note. And the best part? President Rodrigo Paz was able to share this story with his now 86-year-old father. Kudos to all, especially the @Bush41Library. Promises made, promises kept! 🇺🇸🤝🇧🇴

The CCP’s authoritarian model is not staying within China—it’s being exported abroad. This affects U.S. security, supply chains, American businesses, and workers. Last week, at the @HouseAppropsGOP, NED’s President and CEO, @DamonMacWilson, outlined how the CCP combines economic

Ayatollah Khamenei was more willing to die than to compromise. Days after his killing, no one in the regime currently has the legitimacy, authority, or the will to reverse a 47-year culture of resistance. At the moment the regime appears more prepared to break than to bend.
