In a rare bipartisan moment, Democratic Senator John Fetterman publicly backed President Trump’s military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, highlighting a major shift in U.S. foreign policy dynamics. Fetterman praised the precision operation, dubbed Midnight Hammer, calling Iran “the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism” and asserting the strike was the “correct move.”
The operation, targeting key nuclear facilities, succeeded without U.S. casualties thanks to stealth tactics and advanced electronic warfare. Despite Fetterman’s support, many Democrats have called for congressional oversight, with lawmakers like Ro Khanna and Tim Kaine pushing legislation to limit presidential war powers under the War Powers Resolution.
Security officials warn of potential Iranian retaliation via cyberattacks, proxy militias, or domestic threats. Intelligence briefings are ongoing.
Fetterman’s stance breaks with progressive Democrats and underscores a broader realignment in national security politics—where cross-party cooperation may increasingly hinge on strategic threats rather than ideology.
