ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement on Maryland’s posture following U.S. strike in Iran:
“In response to yesterday’s military strike in Iran, I have been in close coordination with our cabinet, including the Maryland Military Department, to ensure Marylanders at home and abroad are protected. Public safety is my top priority, and we are actively working with all levels of government to remain vigilant against any potential retaliatory event, whether cyber or physical.
“Today, my thoughts are also with the Maryland Guard and Service members currently deployed in the Middle East and their families. As someone who has worn the uniform of this country and deployed overseas alongside some of America’s greatest warriors and patriots, I know the profound sacrifices our soldiers and their families make every day. We are grateful for their continued service to our state and country.”
