Sen. John Fetterman is loudly advocating for President Donald Trump to cut off nuclear negotiations with Iran and get to dropping bombs on the country instead.
“Waste that s***,” the Democrat and staunch Israel ally told the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday, referring to Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
The towering Pennsylvanian went on to eviscerate critics who warned the plan could spark a broader conflict.
“You know, they’ve been saying for years and years Hezbollah was the ultimate bada** that kept Israel in check, and we can’t move on anything beyond that,” he told the outlet. “All of these so-called experts were all wrong.”
Fetterman believes much of the instability in the Middle East can be attributed to Iran’s many proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, and as these forces have proved to be less formidable than expected, now is the time to strike.
Hezbollah “couldn’t fight for s***,” he said. “And Hamas, literally, are just a bunch of tunnel rats with junkie rockets in the back of a Toyota truck.”
“And now the Houthis have been effectively neutered as well. So what’s left? You have Iran, and they have a nuclear facility, and it’s clearly only for weapons,” he continued.
The Trump administration has been working to negotiate restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programs.
“You’re never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime that has been destabilizing the region for decades already, and now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that, to strike and destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities,” Fetterman said.
