Fetterman Breaks With Democrats, Backs Iran Strikes and Says Party Is Driven by 'TDS'

He casts himself as an outlier on Operation Epic Fury, arguing Democrats oppose the strikes out of hostility to President Trump.

Overview

  • In appearances on Fox's Hannity and the All-In podcast this week, Sen. John Fetterman said he "absolutely" supports Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
  • He claimed he is the "only" Democrat in Congress he knows who has publicly endorsed the campaign, saying that stance has isolated him within the party.
  • Praising President Trump and the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, he said it is right to "break and destroy" the regime.
  • He asserted Democrats are "governed by Trump Derangement Syndrome" and that members are punished for agreeing with Republicans or standing firmly with Israel.
  • Reaffirming on X that he is "deeply proud" of Israel and the U.S. military's role in Epic Fury, he also urged allies to help the U.S. "open up the straits."
