In the wake of President Donald Trump’s announced attacks on Iranian targets in the early hours of Sunday morning in the Middle East, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman — one of Israel’s strongest supporters in his party — praised the attacks, much to the consternation of leftists on social media.
Fetterman drew over a million views from resharing a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post announcing the attacks and saying he was “grateful” for the action.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in the post.
“All planes are now outside Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he added.
Fordow, a nuclear facility built underneath a mountain, was considered the likely target of any American strike, as it was likely immune to anything but U.S. bunker-buster bombs.
However, details of the operation itself were saved for a live speech Trump had scheduled for 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time Saturday night.
“There is not another military in the world that could have done this,” Trump added, seeming to emphasize that point. “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”
