Fetterman offers support for Trump decision to bomb Iran

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is offering support for President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran, standing out from a number of other Democrats who have criticized the military action.

“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X that linked to a statement from Trump announcing the decision.

“Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities,” Fetterman continued. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

Fetterman since Hamas launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 has been a vocal supporter of Israel, and has at times criticized his own party over the Middle East.

His remarks in the immediate aftermath of the bombing campaign, as a result, are unsurprising.

But they stood apart from other Democrats who criticized Trump’s decision as unconstitutional.

For example, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) criticized Trump for vowing to bring peace to the Middle East but failing, saying he had “misled the country about his intensions.”

“The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harm’s way,” Jeffries wrote in a statement.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) both criticized the strikes as unconstitutional.

Fetterman, however, tied himself to Trump by retweeting the president’s Truth Social message announcing the attacks on the three nuclear sites in Iran.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
