As one of Israel’s staunchest defenders from the left, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., full-throatedly endorsed President Donald Trump’s attacks on Iran as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reacted Saturday morning.
‘President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,’ Fetterman wrote on X. ‘God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.’
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Congress’ biggest backers of bold military action, is hailing President Donald Trump as a ‘man of peace,’ and ‘evil’s worst nightmare.’
‘As I watch and monitor this historic operation, I’m in awe of President Trump’s determination to be a man of peace but at the end of the day, evil’s worst nightmare,’ Graham wrote Saturday morning on X in a string of posts. ‘Well done, Mr. President.’
Trump’s U.S. military armada in the Middle East, working in concert with Israel, is targeting military targets and ballistic missile sites that pose an ‘imminent threat,’ a U.S. official told Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin.
The U.S. military is not targeting Iran’s leadership, but Israel is, the official added.
Strikes hit the compound home of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, in downtown Tehran on Saturday morning.
And Trump issued a video statement on social media, urging Iranian people to get out of the way for now, but ‘when we are finished, take over your government; It will be yours to take.’
‘God bless @POTUS for planning and now executing Operation Epic Fury, making America more safe and eventually more prosperous,’ Graham added. ‘I seek God’s protection for all under President Trump’s command, as well as our allies in Israel.
