Trump’s Iran Nuclear Strikes Win Fetterman’s Support Amid Middle East Tensions

In a bold move that’s stirred the geopolitical pot, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. forces to strike three of Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The overnight operation, described by Trump as a “very successful attack,” involved six bunker-buster bombs hammering Fordow and 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines targeting the other two facilities. This comes on the heels of Israel’s week-long campaign to dismantle Iran’s missile capabilities, signaling a coordinated push to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., threw his weight behind the decision, calling it “correct” in a swift post on X. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities,” he declared, saluting the U.S. military’s precision. Trump, meanwhile, took to Truth Social to celebrate the mission, boasting that “not another military in the world could have done this” while urging de-escalation with a call for “PEACE.”

The strikes mark a volatile new chapter in the region, though the full extent of damage to Iran’s nuclear program remains murky. As the dust settles, the world watches to see if this gambit cools or further inflames the Middle East tinderbox.
