The United States strikes Iranian nuclear sites, GOP legislators call it the “good call”

The exuberant Republicans, and at least one eminent democrat, welcomed President Donald Trump’s management on Saturday after the United States ended an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites.

“Well. It was the right call. The regime deserves it. Bravo, president @realdonaldtrump,” wrote Senator Lindsey Graham, Rs.C., on X.

Democratic senator John Fetterman, D-Penn., Also said that Trump had made the right one.

“As I have kept it for a long time, it was the right decision of @potus,” he said on X. “Iran is the main sponsor of terrorism in the world and cannot have nuclear capacities. I am grateful and welcomed the most beautiful soldiers in the world.”

Representative Brandon Gill, R-Texas, wrote: “” Peace through strength “means ensuring that our existential enemies do not acquire the most deadly and catastrophic weapons known to man.”

And the former representative of Florida, Matt Gaetz, described Trump as a “peaceful”.

“President Trump essentially wants it to be like Solimani’s strike – one and made. No regime changes war. Trump the peacemaker!” He wrote on X.

Representative Mike Rogers, R-ALA., President of House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that the president “had made the right decision to hit Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran had made the choice to continue his pursuit of a nuclear weapon and would only be arrested by force. It would be a serious mistake to retaliate against our forces.”

Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Told X: “Iran waged a war of terror against the United States for 46 years. We could never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. That God blesses our brave troops. President Trump made the right call and the Ayatollahs should remember his warning not to target the Americans.”

Republican senator John Barrasso of Wyoming said that Trump’s decision was “good. The biggest threat to the security of the United States and the world is Iran with a nuclear weapon. May God bless our troops.”

Chamber Mike Johnson, R-La., Wrote on X that “American military operations in Iran should serve as a reminder to our opponents and allies that President Trump means what he says.”

“ Instincts for restraint ”: the Senate divided on who can declare war

Johnson said that the president had given Iran “every opportunity to conclude an agreement, but Iran refused to engage in a nuclear disarmament agreement. President Trump was consistent and clear that Iran with nuclear arms will not be tolerated. This posture has now been applied with force, precision and clarity.”

He added that “Trump’s decisive action prevents the largest sponsor of state terrorism in the world, which sings death in America”, from obtaining the most deadly weapon on the planet “.

However, representative Thomas Massie, r-ky., Who has the author of a resolution of war powers to prevent the United States from getting involved in Iran, said the attacks were “not constitutional”.

Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat in California, echoed Massie’s feelings.

“Trump struck Iran without any authorization from the congress. We must immediately return to DC and vote on @reppthomasmassia and my resolution of war powers to prevent America from being dragged in another endless war of the Middle East,” he wrote on X.
