Senator Mike Rounds, a Republican representing South Dakota, recently shared his views and activities through a series of tweets. His statements covered international affairs, local engagements, and a significant military anniversary.
On June 13, 2025, Senator Rounds addressed concerns about Iran's involvement with Hamas. He stated that "Iran has been financing Hamas terrorists for decades, in addition to supplying them with materials and training their forces. It’s no secret that Iran wants to see Israel wiped off the map. Their missile strikes today confirm that." This comment reflects ongoing tensions in the Middle East and highlights Iran's controversial role in regional conflicts.
Later on the same day, Senator Rounds expressed his pleasure at meeting constituents from various organizations in Washington D.C. He tweeted: "It was good to see South Dakotans with the SD Music Education Association, National Association of Home Builders and Empirical Foods. Lots of South Dakotans in DC!" This tweet underscores his engagement with community groups and stakeholders from his home state.
The following day, on June 14, 2025, Senator Rounds commemorated a milestone for the United States Army. He remarked: "Today marks 250 years of the United States Army. Our nation wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for the sacrifice and courage of our men and women in uniform. 250 years of greatness! Happy Birthday @USArmy!" The senator paid tribute to the long-standing service and dedication of military personnel throughout American history.
South Dakota is represented by Mike Rounds in the U.S. Senate since January 2015.
