前联合国大使妮基·黑利抨击声称伊朗政权对美国无威胁的民主党人,称这一观点”荒谬至极”。
“民主党人说伊朗政权对美国毫无威胁,这太荒谬了。几十年来,他们一直针对美国军队,将传播恐怖主义作为优先事项,无情地追求核武器,建造瞄准我们基地的导弹,并在美属领土上密谋暗杀特朗普总统及其他美国领导人——包括我在内,”黑利在社交平台X上表示。
“当他们高呼’死亡到美国’时,他们指的是我们所有人,不惜一切代价,”她补充道。
黑利对福克斯新闻的玛莎·麦克卡勒姆表示,美国与以色列的联合军事行动”史诗愤怒行动”是”定义历史的时刻”。她补充说,对她的前上司、如今的政治对手唐纳德·特朗普总统而言,这是”定义其遗产的时刻”。
“他们试图搞外交,但伊朗政权一如既往地撒谎、欺骗、从不讲真话,并且一直想确保在幕后能伤害他人,”黑利告诉麦克卡勒姆。”几年前我们退出伊朗核协议时就看到了这一点,他们当时就在作弊。我认为他们现在还在试图作弊,而特朗普政府已经识破了这一点。”
“史诗愤怒行动”的发起在民主党内部引发严重分歧,多位重要人物对此表示赞扬或批评。
弗吉尼亚州参议员蒂姆·凯恩和佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯是最直言不讳的批评者,两人均称行动”非法”。此外,参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默声称该行动缺乏”战略清晰度”,并呼吁就战争权力决议进行投票。

“应对伊朗的恶意地区活动、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度。不幸的是,特朗普总统时而爆发、时而冒扩大冲突风险的做法不是可行的战略,”舒默在声明中表示。
“参议院应迅速复会,通过我们的决议来执行《战争权力法案》,重新确认其宪法职责,”舒默补充道。
2月28日打击开始时,凯恩称特朗普”发起了一场不必要、愚蠢且非法的对伊朗战争,将美国军人和使馆人员置于危险之中”。凯恩和其他一些民主党人呼吁国会返回华盛顿就其战争权力决议进行投票。该针对伊朗的决议已于1月提交。
桑德斯周六也发表声明批评该行动,同时抨击特朗普和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。这位佛蒙特州参议员称特朗普和内塔尼亚胡发动了”非法、有预谋且违宪的对伊朗战争”。与凯恩一样,桑德斯也呼吁就战争权力决议进行投票。

“对伊朗的这次攻击明显违反国际法,将在本已危险的世界中加剧不稳定。如果美国和以色列能对主权国家发动攻击,其他国家也能。强权不等于正义,这会造成国际无政府状态、死亡、破坏和人类苦难,”桑德斯的声明中写道。
“我们绝不能让特朗普把我们卷入另一场无意义的战争。不要对伊朗发动战争,”他补充道。
也有部分民主党人赞扬该行动,包括宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼,他表示如果民主党强行推动战争权力决议投票,他会坚决反对。
“特朗普总统一直愿意采取必要且正确的行动,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,”费特曼在”史诗愤怒行动”开始时在X上写道。
新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默也赞扬了该行动,称”应对伊朗威胁对国家安全和全球稳定至关重要”。
他还呼吁总统遵守《战争权力法案》,并表示”已立即要求就行动进行机密简报”。
今日,美国与我们关键的民主盟友以色列采取果断行动,捍卫国家安全、打击恐怖主义、保护盟友,并支持伊朗人民——他们因要求从伊朗残暴政权手中获得自由而在街头惨遭屠杀, 戈特海默表示。
“我赞扬我们军人的非凡勇气和专业精神,并为他们的安全祈祷,因为伊朗及其恐怖代理将对美国基地和我们在该地区的伙伴进行报复,”他补充道。

Nikki Haley slams Democrats who say Iranian regime ‘was no threat to America’: ‘Absurd’
Former UN ambassador called Operation Epic Fury a ‘history-defining moment’

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley slammed Democrats who claim that the Iranian regime was not a threat to the U.S., calling the notion “absurd.”
“It’s absurd for Democrats to say the Iranian regime was no threat to America. For decades, they targeted American troops, made the spread of terrorism a priority, relentlessly pursued nuclear weapons, built missiles aimed at our bases, and plotted assassinations against President Trump and other U.S. leaders — myself included — on American soil,” Haley said on X.
“When they chanted ‘Death to America,’ they meant all of us, at any cost,” she added.
Haley told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that the U.S. and Israel’s joint military offensive, Operation Epic Fury, was a “history-defining moment.” She added that for President Donald Trump, her former boss-turned-political rival, it was a “legacy defining moment.”

“They attempted to do diplomacy, and the Iranian Regime did what they always do. They lie, they cheat, they never tell the truth, and they always want to make sure in the back of their minds they want to harm people,” Haley told MacCallum. “And we saw this when we got out of the Iranian deal, you know, years ago, that they were cheating then. I think that they were trying to get away with cheating now, and I think the Trump administration saw through that.”
The launch of Operation Epic Fury caused a sharp divide within the Democratic Party, with major players praising and criticizing the attacks.
Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., both of whom called the launch of Operation Epic Fury “illegal,” are among the most vocal critics. Additionally, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., claimed that the operation lacked “strategic clarity” and called for a vote on a war powers resolution.

“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,” Schumer said in a statement.
“The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act,” Schumer added.
On Feb. 28, when the strikes began, Kaine said that Trump “launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk.” Kaine, as well as some other Democrats, called for Congress to return to Washington to vote on his war powers resolution. The resolution, which focused on Iran, was filed in January.
Sanders also issued a statement on Saturday criticizing the operation in which he slammed both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Vermont senator said Trump and Netanyahu had started an “illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional war” against Iran. Sanders, like Kaine, called for a vote on a war powers resolution.
“This attack against Iran is a clear violation of international law and will create increased instability in an already dangerous world. If the United States and Israel can launch an attack against a sovereign nation, so can any other country. Might does not make right. It creates international anarchy, death, destruction and human misery,” Sanders’ statement read.

“We must not allow Trump to force us into another senseless war. No war with Iran,” he added.
There are Democrats who have praised the operation, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has said that he would be a “hard no” if Democrats forced a war powers resolution vote.
“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,” Fetterman wrote on X as Operation Epic Fury began.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., also praised the operation, saying that “confronting the Iranian threat is essential to national security and to global stability.”
He also called on the president to comply with the War Powers Act and said that he “requested an immediate classified briefing” on the operation.

“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.
“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 added.
