Senate Rejects Dem-Led Attempt To Limit Trump’s Iran Operation

However, they emphasized that the votes were still important as a way to test lawmakers, especially considering Trump’s opposition to seeking congressional approval for the joint Israeli-American operations against Iran.

Fetterman said earlier this month that Trump’s actions to destroy Iran’s nuclear ambitions was “entirely appropriate” and that U.S. and Israeli forces should continue to target whoever is selected to succeed slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“Just keep killing them until they’re gone,” Fetterman told CNN’s Kate Bolduan on CNN News Central “I absolutely support that. I think that’s entirely appropriate until hopefully they’ll pick someone that realizes that they need to live and coexist in peace in the region and stop trying to destroy Israel and to stabilize the region,” he added.

Khamenei, who served as the supreme leader for over three decades, was killed in joint U.S. and Israeli strikes that targeted his compound and Iran’s nuclear program.
