As reports surface that the U.S. has bombed three Iranian nuclear sites at President Donald Trump’s direction, Texas Congresswoman Rep. Jasmine Crockett took to Instagram Live with a message of both caution and resilience for the American people.
“Continue to love… but be mindful of large gatherings,” Crockett warned during her impassioned remarks, urging the public to remain on high alert amid escalating global unrest.
The congresswoman’s comments came on the heels of an increasingly volatile situation between Israel and Iran and the United States’ decision to bomb Iranian sites.
According to multiple sources, Trump, now a central figure in a foreign policy firestorm, reportedly directed the bombings as part of efforts to scuttle Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
In her address, Rep. Crockett did not mince words:
“Prepare for what most likely is to come. We are scared. So first of all, if you’re scared—I’m gonna say this—we all need to be very cognizant and move in a way in which we literally have our heads on a swivel.”
She went on to reference historical trauma that still looms large in the American consciousness:
“We know that we were caught off guard with 9/11. I don’t know what is going to happen going forward.”
While stressing the importance of caution, she also encouraged Americans not to let fear rob them of joy:
“But continue to live. Because life in general is just too short not to live. But I want you to absolutely make sure that you’re on heightened alert for everything.”
Her words reflect the anxiety of a nation caught between mounting international conflict and a growing fear of domestic vulnerability. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for clarity and leadership as the situation develops, particularly in light of Trump’s increasingly volatile stance on foreign policy.
Crockett’s message has since gone viral, resonating with citizens across the political spectrum who are seeking both guidance and honesty in uncertain times.
Meanwhile, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran has begun to unravel.
The truce, brokered just hours earlier, quickly collapsed as both sides accused each other of violations. Iran denied Israel’s accusations of noncompliance, but tensions have since surged.
