US senator calls for military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities
US Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has called for the Trump administration to abandon nuclear negotiations with Iran and instead launch a military strike to destroy the country's nuclear facilities.
In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon published Wednesday, Fetterman advocated for decisive military action, saying, "Waste that s—t."
He argued that negotiations with Iran which he described as destabilizing the region for decades, are futile. "You're never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime...and now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that, to strike and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.”
Fetterman dismissed concerns from foreign policy experts who warn that a military strike on Iran would trigger a regional war, citing the recent conflicts involving Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis as evidence that expert predictions are often inaccurate. "And remember, all of these so-called experts were all wrong."
Fetterman concluded that Iran, with its nuclear facilities, remains the primary threat. "So what's left? You have Iran, and they have a nuclear facility, and it's clearly only for weapons," he said.
On negotiations with Iran, Fetterman said, "Years ago, I completely understood why Trump withdrew from the Obama deal. Today, I can't understand why Trump would negotiate with this diseased regime. The negotiations should be comprised of 30,000-pound bombs and the Israel Defense Forces.”
