South Dakota’s political leaders have largely backed the recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites. Representative Dusty Johnson, Senator Mike Rounds, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune each expressed support, citing national security and the need to deter Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Former Governor and current Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem echoed their sentiments, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to protecting the U.S.
Their responses reflect broader Republican approval of the strikes, in contrast to concerns from some national Democratic figures about potential escalation and the lack of prior congressional authorization.
