宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼周三表示,他认为美国与以色列对伊朗的战争一直”有效”,并且正在朝着”恰当的结果”推进。
“总的来说,取得的成果是显著的,”费特曼在周三接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网白宫首席记者梅杰·加勒特采访时表示。
当被追问这场战争是否”进展顺利”时,费特曼回应道:”是的,绝对是。我的意思是,我不确定我会用’顺利’来形容战争,但我确实认为它非常有效。而且我认为它正在朝着恰当的结果发展。”
费特曼辩称,这场冲突显示出伊朗的军事能力薄弱,称”不可否认,伊朗实际上从未具备相应的回应能力”。
“总的来说,他们无法对美国资产或以色列造成任何重大损害,”费特曼表示,并补充说伊朗已被迫”诉诸”对海湾国家发动袭击以及扰乱地区石油贸易。
伊朗已向以色列和几个美国盟友的阿拉伯国家(包括这些国家的美国基地)发射了导弹和无人机——尽管特朗普政府表示,随着伊朗导弹发射装置被轰炸,来袭打击的数量已经下降。
根据五角大楼的数据,自战争开始以来,已有7名美国军人死亡,约140人受伤。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网此前报道,在对科威特一处美国设施的袭击中,6名美国人死亡,数十人遭受重伤,包括烧伤、脑损伤和弹片伤。
关键的霍尔木兹海峡的航运已因战争瘫痪,该海峡通常占全球石油运输量的约20%,导致油价飙升。
费特曼告诉加勒特,他是”参议院中唯一支持这场战争的民主党人”,随后补充说,他”意识到作为民主党人,同意与他(特朗普总统)在任何事情上的看法是多么艰难”。
3月4日,一项旨在阻止特朗普继续对伊朗使用军事力量的参议院决议以53票对47票失败,费特曼是唯一一位跨党派投票反对该决议的民主党人。
去年夏天,费特曼还与共和党同事一起投票反对一项旨在阻止特朗普对伊朗使用军事力量的法案,成为唯一这样做的民主党人。
2月28日,在美国和以色列发动袭击数小时后,费特曼在社交媒体上表达了对战争努力的支持,写道特朗普”愿意采取必要的正确行动,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。”
参议员周三表示,”很明显”,获取核武器是伊朗的”野心”。
他还声称,前几届政府就伊朗核计划进行谈判的尝试均告失败,使得这场战争”成为必要”。
“多位总统及其政府都尝试过谈判、条约以及所有其他类型的技巧,试图通过我们在该地区的其他盟友施压或劝说,但没有任何激励措施,”费特曼说。
2018年,特朗普总统退出了2015年由其前任总统巴拉克·奥巴马谈判达成的伊朗核协议《联合全面行动计划》。
当时,特朗普声称伊朗”即将”获取核武器。自本月初战争开始以来,白宫和以色列官员重申了他们认为伊朗正在发展核武器的看法,尽管美国和以色列都没有提供证据支持其说法。
在2025年3月的一份报告中,美国情报界认定伊朗没有在制造核武器。尽管伊朗长期以来一直表示其铀浓缩计划是出于和平目的,但它将铀浓缩至接近武器级别的水平。

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman says war with Iran has been “effective”
March 11, 2026 / 7:24 PM EDT / CBS News
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said Wednesday he believes the U.S.-Israel war with Iran has been “effective” and is moving toward an “appropriate outcome.”
“I think, overall, what’s accomplished is remarkable,” Fetterman told CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett in an interview Wednesday.
Pressed on whether the war was going “well,” Fetterman responded, “Yes, absolutely. I mean, I’m not sure it’s the right word I would choose for war, but I do think it’s very effective. And then I do think it’s moving towards the kinds of appropriate outcome.”
Fetterman argued that the conflict has shown Iran’s military capabilities to be weak, saying it’s “undeniable that Iran really never had the kind of capabilities to respond.”
“Overall, they have been unable to inflict any significant damage on American assets or in Israel,” Fetterman said, adding that Iran has been forced “to resort” to launching strikes on Gulf nations and disrupting the regional oil trade.
Iran has launched missiles and drones at Israel and at several U.S.-allied Arab states, including American bases in those countries — though the Trump administration says the volume of incoming strikes has dropped as Iranian missile launchers are bombed.
Seven U.S. service members have been killed and around 140 have been wounded since the war began, according to the Pentagon. In one attack on a U.S. facility in Kuwait, six Americans were killed and dozens suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, CBS News has previously reported.
Ship traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, which normally accounts for the passage of about 20% of global oil, has been crippled by the war, sending oil prices spiking.
Fetterman told Garrett he’s the “only Democrat in the Senate” that supports the war, later adding he was “aware of how punishing it is as a Democrat to agree with him [President Trump] on anything.”
On March 4, a Senate resolution that would have blocked Mr. Trump from continuing to use military force against Iran failed in a 53-47 vote, with Fetterman the only Democrat to cross the aisle and vote against it.
Last summer, Fetterman also joined his Republican colleagues to vote against a measure that would have blocked Mr. Trump from using military force against Iran, the only Democrat to do so.
On Feb. 28, hours after the U.S. and Israel launched their attack, Fetterman took to social media to express his support for the war effort, writing that Mr. Trump was “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.”
The senator said Wednesday that it is “very clear that” acquiring nuclear weapons is Iran’s “ambition.”
He also alleged that attempts by previous administrations to negotiate with Iran on its nuclear program failed, making the war “necessary.”
“Multiple presidents, through their administrations, have tried this, negotiation, treaties, all other kinds of techniques to work through our other allies in the region and cajole them, no incentives,” Fetterman said.
In 2018, Mr. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an Iran nuclear deal that had been negotiated in 2015 by his predecessor, then-President Barack Obama.
At the time, Mr. Trump claimed Iran was “on the cusp” of acquiring nuclear weapons. Since the war began earlier this month, the White House and Israeli officials have reiterated their belief that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, though neither the U.S. nor Israel has provided evidence to back up their claims.
In a March 2025 report, the U.S. intelligence community determined that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. While Iran has long said its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes, it enriches uranium to near weapons-grade levels.
