From Fox News:\n<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who has increasingly staked out unapologetic\u00a0pro-Israel positions, has openly questioned why critics from both the far-right and far-left are making hay over the strikes, arguing the operation was necessary to counter Tehran\u2019s aggression. His stance is widening a visible fracture inside the party over how far to back Israel amid escalating regional tensions.\n<\/p>\n

On Monday, Fetterman wrote that he\u2019s \u201cnot sure why it\u2019s controversial to anyone to appreciate and celebrate wiping out 49 leaders of one of the most evil regimes in recorded history,\u201d after Trump announced the potentially four-week mission was ahead of schedule after discovering several top Iranian officials being targeted were reportedly in the same area and could be taken out at once.\n<\/p>\n

The former Pennsylvania lieutenant governor later credited Trump, saying in a statement that he \u201chas been willing to do what\u2019s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Fetterman referenced the slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, posting \u201cLet\u2019s see who grieves for that garbage.\u201d He also questioned his own party, writing, \u201cEvery member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. I\u2019m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The Senator even vowed to oppose his own party\u2019s war powers resolution. And he\u2019s not the only Democrat to break with the party. Representative Gregory Landsman, for example, praised the operation in Iran. Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams also criticized what he called the political fringes for ignoring the oppression and abuses carried out by Khamenei.\n<\/p>\n

Senator Fetterman has for some time now been an ardent defender of Israel and the Jewish people. He has also moved across the aisle on several key issues, such as ending last year\u2019s government shutdown. Let\u2019s pray that he inspires his colleagues to stand with Israel, oppose Iran, and support the President!\n<\/p>\n
