Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, America must pay attention. Here is a recent photo taken in Iran of dictator Ayatollah Khamenei's defense chieftain, Mohammad Bagheri, with Russian dictator Putin's top Russian General Shoigu.

It is clear what these warlords were up to, meeting to collude on weapons of war. Yes, these two dictators are conspiring and warring against liberty for Ukraine, Israel, and adjoining nations in the Middle East. Make no mistake, these overlords want to extend their spider web of tyranny across Ukraine, the Middle East, and beyond.

Ukraine is fighting valiantly to push Russia out of its country to join the West in the European confederation of free nations.

Meanwhile, Houthi terrorists, supported by Iran, are blocking passage of trade through the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, impacting global supply chains and raising prices.

In addition, 140,000 of Iran's Hezbollah mercenaries are ensconced in southern Lebanon, raining down rockets into Israel. Hamas terrorists in Gaza find allies in these terrorist regimes.

Speaker Johnson needs to support liberty and blunt terrorism and tyranny. He should move to the floor the national security supplemental aid bill. Support freedom, not terrorism and tyranny.
