Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Thursday said he fully supported Israel’s attack on Iran and said it should “keep wiping out Iranian leadership” and its nuclear personnel.
“Our commitment to Israel must be absolute and I fully support this attack,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X late Thursday. “Keep wiping out Iranian leadership and the nuclear personnel. We must provide whatever is necessary—military, intelligence, weaponry—to fully back Israel in striking Iran.”
Fetterman has been a firm and vocal advocate for Israel, at times criticizing members of his own party on the topic. The issue came to the forefront after the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel, which led to the Gaza war.
Israel launched a major attack on Iran early Friday, hitting nuclear and missile sites in that country amid fears about Tehran’s advancing nuclear program. Israel has feared Iran gaining the capability to launch nuclear-armed ballistic missiles and has vowed to not let that happen. Iran is now warning of a major retaliation.
The attack also killed three of Iran’s top military leaders, including Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, who oversaw the entire armed forces; Gen. Hossein Salami, who led the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard; and Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who ran the Guard’s ballistic missile program.
