Fetterman defends support for Trump Iran operation: ‘This is a good thing’

Sen. Fetterman breaks with Democrats by backing Trump’s strikes to hinder Iran’s nuclear ambitions and support Israel, voting against a War Powers Resolution, Senate records show.

  • On March 3, Senator John Fetterman praised Operation Epic Fury after a Senate briefing at the U.S. Capitol, saying `That's a good thing` and reiterating support for Israel.
  • Citing his support for Israel, Fetterman said `the weekend air strikes will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb` and expressed pride in standing with Israel.
  • The Senate teed up a War Powers vote Wednesday, which failed 53-to-47, with Fetterman opposing and Senator Rand Paul backing the resolution sponsors.
  • The House planned a Thursday vote on the War Powers Resolution, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked Monday about Fetterman's comments amid Senate Democrats' near-uniform support to limit the president.
  • He urged Democrats to be more `reasonable` to flip seats and criticized colleagues' 'empty sloganeering' on Iran, highlighting Fetterman's out-of-step stance with the party, Tur reported.
