Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told Newsmax on Tuesday his fellow Democrats should acknowledge what he called the benefits of President Donald Trump's military action against Iran, saying that the operation was a welcome step toward blocking the regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon and degrading its missile program.
Fetterman's remarks on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren" highlighted his split with many in his party on Iran and came as the conflict carried broader military and economic risks.
CNN reported that Iran had begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the critical shipping route that carries about 20% of global crude oil, citing two people familiar with U.S. intelligence.
In the interview, Fetterman said Democrats have long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear bomb, then questioned why more in his party would not call the latest action a positive outcome.
