Senator John Fetterman’s blunt admission that President Trump “has done the right thing” on Iran should be headline news in every hometown across America — not something the mainstream media tries to bury. On Greta Van Susteren’s program, Fetterman broke with the predictable Democratic chorus and publicly backed targeted pressure and, when necessary, precision military action against a murderous regime that brutalizes its own people.
That kind of bipartisanship — backing strength over sanctimony — is exactly what the country needs right now. Fetterman told interviewers he’d support limited, precise strikes if they make sense, echoing actions the United States took last year to hit Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Conservatives should applaud any Democrat who recognizes that securing America and our allies comes before partisan theater.
Make no mistake: Iran is not some abstract policy problem for wonks to argue about in think tanks — it is an ideology-exporting regime that bankrolls terror and thirsts for nuclear weapons. For years the international community dithered while Iran inched toward a weapon it would use to blackmail and destabilize the Middle East and beyond. Real leadership means acting decisively to deny nuclear capability to a regime that has massacred its own citizens and sponsors violence across the globe.
President Trump’s choice to degrade Iran’s nuclear facilities was exactly the kind of muscular, strategic pressure that keeps Americans and our allies safe. The strikes that hit deeply buried sites such as Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were not reckless adventurism; they were surgical blows designed to buy time and reassert deterrence against a dangerous adversary. Leaders who refuse to act until catastrophe strikes are not prudent — they’re negligent, and hardworking Americans will not forgive that.
Washington’s usual posture of reflexive hand-wringing collapsed when it mattered most — and Congress’s recent close vote showed exactly where the country’s split lies. The Senate rejected an effort to hamstring the president’s ability to respond to Iranian aggression, and the roll call underscored that national security should not be a partisan cudgel. Democrats who peddle weakness as virtue should explain to voters why appeasement is preferable to protecting American lives and liberty.
John Fetterman’s willingness to stand with the president on this issue should reset the argument: Americans want safety, stability, and a government that defends them. If a Democrat from Pennsylvania can look at the evidence — the crackdown on protesters, the regime’s blood-soaked record, and the clear nuclear threat — and say, plainly, that pressure worked, then the rest of Washington owes the country an honest debate, not performative outrage.
Patriots across this country should rally behind leadership that keeps threats off our soil and defends our friends abroad. Fetterman’s words — that he “fully agree” with strong measures to stop Iran’s march toward a bomb — are a welcome reminder that party labels must never trump the security of the American people. It’s time for sober, determined policy that protects families, supports brave protesters in Iran, and ensures America remains the unshakable defender of freedom.
