So you agree with me that we need to finish the job now?” KIGGANS: “Yes, I do. I do agree with that, because they will continue to be a nuisance and problematic. I mean, not just for the Middle East and for countries like Israel, who is our closest ally there, but also for our own country. I mean, we've seen the impact that they had a role in 911. They've had a role in the USS Cole bombing. And what happened to our Marines in Lebanon. I mean, we they will continue to — they're the source of funding for these terrorist proxy groups. So they will continue to be a problem for us until we take down that regime. So I couldn't be a stauncher supporter of the action that we're taking against Iran.” [Jen Kiggans, John Fredericks Show, 2:23:20, 4/20/26] (VIDEO)

• VIDEO: Kiggans: “I Look Forward To Just Continuing To Support […] The Actions Of The Administration.” KIGGANS: “But we need we do need to get the job done and wrap it up. And I know this president can do it. He's a big believer in peace through strength, 180 degrees different than what we saw from the last administration with Joe Biden, who was a president who would wander around and didn't even know where he was. And that weakness that our country showed day after day on the world stage, I mean, it made the world a less safe place. So thank goodness we have a different approach between what we've done in Venezuela, which was a success; that was swift and decisive. And then we did the job and came home. And the Middle East is a little trickier, a little bit of a bigger space, but we can get it done there too. So I look forward to just continuing to support not only the actions of the administration, but also our men and women in uniform and their families who are here in Hampton Roads. That's a large part of what I do. And what drives me in

Congress is to make sure our warfighters have the resources to make sure we're taking care of the quality of life issues here for their families.” [Jen Kiggans, John Fredericks Show, 2:23:59, 4/20/26] (VIDEO)

• VIDEO: Kiggans: “Right Now It’s Time To Take Down The Terrorist Country, Which Is Iran. And I Look Forward To The Swift And Decisive Action That The President Talks About, Because We’ve Been At War With Iran For Decades.” FREDERICKS: “Let's switch for a second here, Jen Kiggans, you represent, what are the biggest naval bases in the nation, in the Virginia Beach, Norfolk Area District two. The U.S. Navy intercepted an Iranian tanker yesterday, told them to stop, they wouldn’t do it, blow a hole in their engine room. Now they're occupying the ship and they've taken possession of it. Blockade is still going on. Supposedly, there's negotiations today in Pakistan. We still haven't gotten word whether or not the Iranians are showing up for that. President Trump has said when the cease fire is over, massive bombing, shock and awe is coming. Where do you stand on this, Jen?” KIGGANS: “You take care. Thanks Ben. I couldn't be prouder of our men and women in uniform, especially our great Navy. I mean, as a Navy veteran, I have a big Navy family, my husband, my son. And so we're certainly proud of the work that they're doing over there. This is the role of the Navy. This is our mission. And we do what we're directed. And right now, it’s to take down the terrorist country, which is Iran. And I look forward to the swift and decisive action that the president talks about, because we've been at war with Iran for decades. They have been chanting death to America in their streets. And so we need to utilize what we have, which is the best military in the whole world. And so I'm proud of them. I support their actions. I would like to see us wrap this up and swift and decisive and get this done. I'm not really interested in negotiating with terrorists. I want to get in there and get the job done and get our men and women in uniform home. I know that our Navy, especially our aircraft carriers that are deployed, is going to be on an almost 11 month deployment. So, you know, that's a long time as a person who's been there, done that and so many people in my district. But we need to get the job done and so we can welcome those guys back.” [Jen Kiggans, John Fredericks Show, 2:20:20, 4/20/26] (VIDEO)
