Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, recently shared his views on international affairs through a series of tweets. Wilson, who has been in office since 2001 after succeeding Floyd Spence, has a history of political service dating back to his tenure in the South Carolina Senate from 1985 to 2001. Born in Charleston and currently residing in Springdale, Wilson holds degrees from Washington and Lee University and the University of South Carolina.

On January 24, 2025, Joe Wilson expressed his perspective on Iran's current political climate. He stated that "The Iranian regime is weaker than ever before with few friends left. Few expected Assad would fall and the same will happen in Iran. The people will overthrow the regime soon." He concluded with "Free Iran," indicating his support for regime change.

Later that day, Wilson turned his attention to Yemen with a brief statement: "Free Yemen from Iran". This tweet suggests his stance against Iranian influence in Yemen.

In another tweet posted shortly thereafter, Wilson commented on Georgia's political situation by stating: "Free Georgia from the Ivanishvili regime". This indicates his opposition to Bidzina Ivanishvili's influence over Georgian politics.
