唐纳德·特朗普总统对伊朗的联合打击行动暴露出两党分歧，数名民主党人站在总统一边为其辩护，而少数共和党人则质疑其宪法授权。
特朗普宣布，美国和以色列军队在周六凌晨对伊朗领导层和军事设施发动了打击，令数百万美国民众以及国会大多数议员感到意外。
少数众议院民主党人正在为此次行动辩护，而他们党内的大多数人则称这是鲁莽且非法的行为。另一方面，至少有三名共和党议员在周六上午表示，这一消息让他们有所犹豫。
俄亥俄州民主党众议员格雷格·兰兹曼表示，此次打击”针对的是军事基础设施——并警告伊朗平民远离这些军事目标，以确保安全”。

兰兹曼说：”我希望该地区所有人都能获得持久和平——从伊朗人民到黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、叙利亚、伊拉克、约旦和以色列人民。我希望对伊朗政权军事资产的精准打击能结束该政权的混乱和流血，为该地区的持久和平铺平道路。”
“感谢领导此次行动的勇敢军人，我祈祷他们的工作最终能让伊朗人民和该地区人民免受更多暴力或战争之苦。”
纽约州民主党众议员汤姆·苏奥齐和新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默、内华达州民主党参议员杰克·罗森以及宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼也同样将责任归咎于伊朗。
以色列国防部长称以色列发起先发制人打击伊朗
在共和党方面，俄亥俄州共和党众议员沃伦·戴维森、肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西和肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗则对针对伊朗的行动可能违反国会自身宪法授权表示担忧。
戴维森在社交平台X上发文称：”我们需要一个小到能符合宪法的政府。我们需要一个足够有效，能解决问题并服务于本国人民的政府。否则，我们需要一部新宪法。”
当被问及是否支持特朗普对伊朗的行动时，戴维森回答：”不。战争需要国会授权。”
长期批评对外干预的马西甚至与加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·科哈尼一起提出了一项决议，以限制特朗普的战争权力。众议院民主党人要求下周就该决议进行投票。
兰兹曼告诉NOTUS，如果该决议提交众议院表决，他将投反对票。
新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默在同样赞扬军方行动的同时，通过发言人拒绝告诉福克斯新闻数字版他是否会支持该决议。
戈特海默在一份声明中表示：”今天，美国与其主要民主盟友以色列采取了果断行动，以捍卫我们的国家安全、打击恐怖主义、保护我们的盟友，并支持那些因要求摆脱凶残伊朗政权的自由而在街头被屠杀的伊朗人民。”
“我赞赏我们军人的非凡勇气和专业精神，并为他们的安全祈祷，因为伊朗及其恐怖主义代理势力可能会报复美国基地和我们在该地区的伙伴。”
与苏奥齐和罗森一样，他呼吁就行动细节举行机密简报会。
海湾国家谴责伊朗在美以行动后对其领土的报复性打击
苏奥齐在自己的声明中表示：”我同意总统的目标，即绝不能允许伊朗获得核能力。总统现在必须明确界定国家安全目标，并阐明其避免中东再次陷入另一场代价高昂、旷日持久战争的计划。”
与此同时，费特曼是支持行动的民主党人中最直言不讳的人之一。
周六凌晨，他在社交平台X上发文称：”特朗普总统愿意采取正确且必要的行动，以在该地区实现真正的和平。愿上帝保佑美国、我们伟大的军队和以色列。”（他是最早表态的议员之一）
在谈及战争权力投票时，他说：”我坚决反对。我的投票支持’史诗狂怒行动’。”
这与大多数民主党议员形成鲜明对比，他们抨击特朗普在发动打击前未获得国会授权。
众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯指责特朗普”放弃外交，发动大规模军事攻击，使美国军队容易受到伊朗报复行动的伤害”。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默表示：”应对伊朗在地区的恶意活动、核野心以及对伊朗人民的残酷压迫，需要美国的力量、决心、地区协调和战略清晰。不幸的是，特朗普总统时而抨击时而冒扩大冲突风险的做法，并非可行的战略。”

Trump finds support from House Democrats for ‘Operation Epic Fury’ in Iran | Fox News
By Elizabeth Elkind, Alex Miller | Fox News
Published February 28, 2026 2:18pm EST
President Donald Trump’s joint strikes on Iran are exposing a divide in both parties, as several Democrats come to the president’s defense while a handful of Republicans question his constitutional authority.
Trump announced U.S. and Israeli forces targeted Iranian leadership and military sites in the early hours of Saturday morning, catching millions of Americans — and the majority of lawmakers in Congress — by surprise.
A handful of House Democrats are justifying the operation, bucking most of their party, who are calling the operation a reckless and illegal action. On the other hand, at least three Republican lawmakers are signaling that the news gave them some pause as of Saturday morning.
Rep. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, said that the strikes “are targeting military infrastructure —- with warnings to Iranian civilians to take shelter away from these military targets.”

“I want a lasting peace for everyone in the region — from the Iranian people to the Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians, and Israelis. I hope these targeted strikes on the Iranian regime’s military assets ends the regime’s mayhem and bloodshed and makes way for this lasting peace in the region,” Landsman said.
“Thank you to our brave service members who are leading this effort, and I pray their work will finally free the people of Iran and those in the region from more violence or war.”
Reps. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., and Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., similarly put the onus on Iran, as did Sens. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., and John Fetterman, D-Pa.
ISRAEL LAUNCHES PREEMPTIVE STRIKE AGAINST IRAN, DEFENSE MINISTER SAYS
On the Republican side, Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., are concerned about how actions against Iran could run afoul of Congress’ own constitutional authority.
“We need a government small enough to fit within the Constitution. We need a government effective enough to solve problems and serve its own people. Or, we need a new Constitution,” Davidson posted on X.
When another user asked if he supported Trump’s actions against Iran, Davidson replied, “No. War requires congressional authorization.”

ISRAEL TARGETS IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER IN SWEEPING STRIKES AS US JOINS ‘OPERATION EPIC FURY’
Massie, a longtime critic of foreign intervention, went so far as to introduce a resolution alongside Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to rein in Trump’s war powers. House Democrats are demanding a vote on that resolution as soon as next week.
Landsman told NOTUS that he would vote against such a measure if it came to the House floor.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., while similarly praising the military’s moves, refused to tell Fox News Digital if he would support the resolution via a spokesperson.
“Today, the United States, with our key democratic ally Israel, took decisive action to defend our national security, fight terror, protect our allies, and stand with the Iranian people who have been massacred in the streets for demanding freedom from the murderous Iranian regime,” Gottheimer said in a statement.
“I applaud the extraordinary bravery and professionalism of our servicemembers and pray for their safety as Iran and its terrorist proxies retaliate against American bases and our partners in the region.”
He, like Suozzi and Rosen, called for a classified briefing on the operation’s details.

“I agree with the President’s objectives that Iran can never be allowed to obtain nuclear capabilities. The President must now clearly define the national security objective and articulate his plan to avoid another costly, prolonged war in the Middle East,” Suozzi said in his own statement.
Fetterman, meanwhile, has been among the Democrats most full-throated in his support.
“President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel,” he posted on X early Saturday morning, among the first lawmakers to sound off.

He said of the war powers vote, “I’m a hard no. My vote is Operation Epic Fury.”
It’s a stark contrast to the majority of Democratic lawmakers who have lambasted Trump for not getting authorization from Congress before the strikes.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., accused Trump of moving to “abandon diplomacy and launch a massive military attack has left American troops vulnerable to Iran’s retaliatory actions.”
In the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said, “Confronting Iran’s malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump’s fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy.”
