Pennsylvania U.S. Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman are weighing in on the U.S. airstrikes on several Iranian nuclear sites.
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program.
McCormick, a Republican, and Fetterman, a Democrat, both applauded Trump’s decision to launch the strikes.
In a statement, McCormick said Iran must not have a nuclear weapon, and that the strikes were ” the result of the Iranian regime’s failure to make a deal despite months of President Trump’s good faith efforts to negotiate.”
“I applaud President Trump’s strong leadership and his continued commitment to peace through strength,” McCormick said. “Once again, America’s detractors around the world should know President Trump means what he says.”
Fetterman offered a more brief take on the strikes via a post on X.
“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS,” Fetterman wrote. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.”

Dave McCormick
“As I have said all along, Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. This targeted attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is the result of the Iranian regime’s failure to make a deal despite months of President Trump’s good faith efforts to negotiate.
I applaud President Trump’s strong leadership and his continued commitment to peace through strength. Once again, America’s detractors around the world should know President Trump means what he says.
And I am so grateful for America’s brave warriors, who appear to have achieved their mission successfully and are returning home safely. I look forward to being briefed along with my Senate colleagues on this action.
This is an important step toward ensuring that the world’s largest state sponsor of terror never obtains a nuclear weapon.”
John Fetterman
“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.
Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.
I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”
