John Fetterman Breaks Ranks With Democrats on Iran Strikes, War Powers Vote

Senator Fetterman supports Trump’s pre-emptive strikes on Iranian targets and opposes a War Powers Resolution, diverging from many Democrats who call for congressional approval.

  • On Saturday, Senator John Fetterman, Democrat from Pennsylvania, supported Trump's strikes and opposed the War Powers vote, saying `My vote is Operation Epic Fury.`
  • In earlier congressional votes, Fetterman supported U.S. strikes on Iran, including Operation Midnight Hammer, and rejected a war-powers restriction in June.
  • On Fox News he called the president `absolutely correct` and said Iran `massacred 30,000 of their own people` while supporting U.S. military action.
  • Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on Sen. Tim Kaine's War Powers resolution while Sen. Tim Kaine urged Congress to act and Rep. Thomas Massie pledged to force a vote.
  • The administration described the strikes as a preemptive effort to eliminate imminent threats, with officials warning Iran could have acquired a nuclear bomb without them.
