Fetterman: Strike on Iran ‘the correct move’

(WHTM) — Shortly after President Donald Trump announced strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) praised the move in a post on X.

The senior Pennsylvania senator said “As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move” by Trump.

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

The strikes on Iran follow several by Israel.

Earlier this week, Fetterman said he believed Israel should have targeted Iran’s supreme leader.

Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) blamed the attack on “the Iranian regime’s failure to make a deal despite months of President Trump’s good faith efforts to negotiate.”

“As I have said all along, Iran must not have a nuclear weapon,” McCormick said. “I applaud President Trump’s strong leadership and his continued commitment to peace through strength. Once again, America’s detractors around the world should know President Trump means what he says. And I am so grateful for America’s brave warriors, who appear to have achieved their mission successfully and are returning home safely.”
