Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., declared in a Monday post on X that he would support strikes to scuttle any Iranian nuclear weapons aspirations.
"Iran can’t ever develop a nuclear weapon," the senator asserted.
Earlier this year, the U.S. took military action targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear ambitions — and in his post on Monday, Fetterman noted that he supported that move and would support another attack against the regime in the future.
"Fully supported the strike earlier this year. Fully support any future strikes to damage or destroy their nuclear ambitions," Fetterman, an ardent and outspoken supporter of Israel, noted.
