<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> explained during an interview this week that the recent Iranian-backed terrorist attacks in Israel were personal from him because when he served in the U.S. Military during the war on terror, the Iranians were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. soldiers.</p>
<p>DeSantis made the remarks during an interview Tuesday morning on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; in the wake of Saturday&#8217;s unprecedented terror attack, which left more than 1,000 people in Israel dead and more than 2,500 wounded.</p>
<p>&#8220;In terms of Iran, look, this is personal for me in the sense of, I served in Iraq back in 2007, 2008,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We were in places like Fallujah and Ramadi. Mostly Sunni Arab al Qaeda fighters at the time, but most of the casualties U.S. troops were suffering were at the hands of Iranian-backed Shia militias. They killed hundreds of our troops in Iraq, probably over 1,000.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course, they were responsible, through Hezbollah, for killing our Marines back in 1983 in the Beirut barracks bombing,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So Iran has a lot of American blood on its hands. Look, I think that Israel should be focused on uprooting Hamas. To make this a larger role, I think, does have some risks, but I would say the United States should turn every screw so that Iran is not getting money flowing into its coffers, particularly with their oil.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Republican presidential candidate said that the Biden administration made a mistake in unfreezing $6 billion of Iranian assets that they made from illicit oil sales.</p>
<p>DeSantis, 45, said that the reason the Trump administration terminated Qasem Soleimani was because he was fueling attacks on American soldiers overseas.</p>
<p>He said that the U.S. government needed to reverse its loosening of sanctions on Iran and needed to expand domestic energy production so that the U.S. was more secure during periods of instability in the Middle East.</p>
