Kentucky leaders react as Trump announces US attack on three Iranian nuclear sites

KENTUCKY (FOX 56) — Kentucky lawmakers are responding to news that President Donald Trump has authorized a US bombing attack on three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, June 21.

“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”

In the wake of the announcement, Rep. Thomas Massie of the Commonwealth’s 4th district posted on X, calling the decision to authorize a US attack on Iran “not constitutional.”

LATEST KENTUCKY NEWS:

Sen. Andy Barr posted on social media in support of the president, asking God to bless him and the US.

Before the attack was announced, Sen. Rand Paul said the direct decision by the Commander-in-Chief on Saturday would be nothing new.

“If he wages war unilaterally, Trump will only be the latest of many presidents to do so,” Paul wrote.

The majority of the GOP reportedly supported the president’s actions against Iran.
