在特朗普总统几周的威胁之后,美国和以色列周六早些时候宣布对伊朗发起重大军事行动,各方反应迅速涌现。
特朗普总统在Truth Social视频中宣布了这次被称为”史诗之怒行动”的袭击。他呼吁伊朗军队放下武器,并呼吁伊朗民众起来”接管你们的政府”。特朗普告诉《华盛顿邮报》,他希望为伊朗人民确保自由和安全。
国会领袖反应
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩表示,伊朗的核野心、弹道导弹武库以及对恐怖主义的支持”对美国军人、该地区公民以及我们的许多盟友构成了明确且不可接受的威胁”,他赞扬特朗普总统”采取行动挫败这些威胁”。
“我期待政府官员向所有参议员通报这些军事行动,”他说。”我赞扬执行这些行动的军人的勇敢,并为身处危险中的人们的安全祈祷。”
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默表示:”绝不能允许伊朗获得核武器,但美国人民不希望在国内存在诸多问题时,中东再发生一场无休止且代价高昂的战争。”
他说,特朗普政府”没有向国会和美国人民提供有关威胁的范围和紧迫性的关键细节”,并呼吁政府通过公开和私下渠道向国会通报。
舒默称:”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,需要美国的实力、决心、地区协调和战略清晰度。不幸的是,特朗普总统时而斥责时而冒扩大冲突风险的做法,并非可行的战略。”
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊表示,”伊朗正面临其邪恶行为的严重后果”,并证实”八人小组”(由八名国会领袖组成,依法必须接受机密情报简报)本周早些时候已详细了解”可能有必要采取军事行动以保护美国在伊朗的军队和公民”。
约翰逊说,特朗普政府”为回应伊朗政权持续的核野心与发展、恐怖主义以及杀害美国人——甚至是他们自己的人民——尽了一切努力寻求和平与外交解决方案”。”几十年来,伊朗公然坚持其核计划,同时武装和资助哈马斯、真主党以及其他国际公认的恐怖组织。伊朗及其代理人威胁了美国和美国人的生命,破坏了我们的核心国家利益,系统性地破坏了中东的稳定,并威胁到整个西方的安全。”
众议院少数党领袖海金·杰弗里斯在一份声明中表示,特朗普”在对伊朗采取行动前未能寻求国会授权”,并说他”放弃外交并发动大规模军事攻击的决定,使美国军队容易受到伊朗报复行动的影响”。
“伊朗是一个作恶者,必须因其侵犯人权、核野心、支持恐怖主义以及对以色列和约旦等地区盟友构成的威胁而受到坚决对抗,”杰弗里斯说。”然而,在没有紧急情况的情况下,特朗普政府必须寻求授权以进行构成战争行为的先发制人军事行动。”
杰弗里斯还表示,如果正如特朗普之前声称的,伊朗的核计划在2025年6月被军事打击摧毁,”现在就没有必要攻击他们了”。
他说,总统”必须立即向美国人民和国会解释情况…明确界定国家安全目标,并阐明避免中东再次陷入另一场代价高昂、旷日持久的军事泥潭的计划”。
众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默赞扬特朗普总统”采取了大胆果断的有力行动”,并说:”我们祈祷,由于这种领导力,美国和世界将变得更安全。”
共和党人反应
密西西比州共和党参议员、参议院武装部队委员会主席罗杰·威克称这一行动是”保护美国人和美国利益的关键且必要的行动”,并表示”伊朗政权从未如此脆弱过”。
特朗普的盟友林赛·格雷厄姆参议员称这次行动”计划周密”,并将”暴力、广泛且我相信最终会成功”。
“一想到伊朗的杀人阿亚图拉政权即将不复存在,我就思绪万千。一千年来中东最大的变革即将来临,”代表南卡罗来纳州的共和党人格雷厄姆在社交媒体上说。他为参与行动的人祈祷,并表示这一努力将使”美国更安全,最终更繁荣”。
阿肯色州共和党参议员、参议院情报委员会主席汤姆·科顿分享了伊朗犯下的罪行清单,并表示”刽子手的账单终于到了阿亚图拉们头上”。
众议员南希·梅斯在社交媒体上表示支持总统的行动:”特朗普总统说出了软弱者无法说出口的话:和平不是在绥靖中找到的——而是靠赢得的。伊朗人民为自由流血。他们的呼声没有被充耳不闻。在特朗普的任上没有。”
民主党人反应
弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员、情报委员会副主席马克·华纳称这次军事行动”是一个影响深远的决定,可能将美国卷入中东的另一场广泛冲突”。
他谴责伊朗政权支持恐怖主义和破坏地区稳定,但表示:”承认这些现实并不会免除任何总统依法行动、制定明确战略并与国会协商的责任。”
“美国人民以前见过这个剧本——所谓的紧迫性、被歪曲的情报,以及将美国卷入政权更迭和长期代价高昂的国家建设的军事行动。我们有责任确保我们不重蹈历史覆辙,”华纳说。”总统欠国家清晰的答案:目标是什么?防止升级的战略是什么?这如何使美国人更安全?”
情报委员会高级成员吉姆·希姆斯众议员称这次行动”是一场选择的战争,没有战略终点”。希姆斯是八人小组的成员。据熟悉此事的人士向CBS新闻透露,行动开始前他已得到通知。
希姆斯说,在简报会上他告诉国务卿马尔科·卢比奥,”这个地区的军事行动几乎从未给美国带来好结果,与伊朗的冲突很容易以我们无法预料的方式升级”。
“唐纳德·特朗普似乎没有吸取历史教训,”希姆斯说。
宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼表示支持美国对伊朗的打击。
“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,”费特曼说。”愿上帝保佑美国、我们伟大的军队和以色列。”
去年夏天,费特曼加入共和党同事的阵营,投票反对一项阻止特朗普对伊朗使用军事力量的法案,成为唯一投反对票的民主党人。
亚利桑那州民主党参议员、伊拉克战争退伍军人鲁本·加列戈批评这次行动。
“我在伊拉克失去了朋友,因为一场非法战争,”加列戈在社交媒体上说。”年轻的工人阶级孩子不应该为政权更迭和一场尚未向美国人民解释或证明其合理性的战争付出最终代价。我们可以支持伊朗的民主运动和伊朗人民,而无需派遣我们的军队去死。”
经常批评特朗普的众议员托马斯·梅西在社交媒体上描述这次行动为”未经国会授权的战争行为”。2025年6月,
梅西提出了一项决议,要求总统”终止美国军队对伊朗的敌对行动”,无需国会通过。民主党人计划在美国国会就梅西和罗·科哈尼提出的战争权力决议进行投票。
科哈尼周六早上表示,国会”必须在周一开会”对该决议进行投票”以阻止这场战争”,并呼吁国会议员在周末分享他们的投票计划。希姆斯说,特朗普的”声明本身就承认这是一场战争”。
“唐纳德·特朗普对伊朗发动了一场战争。国会必须在周一开会,就托马斯·梅西和我的战争权力决议进行投票,以阻止这场战争。特朗普称他的目标是推翻伊朗政权,”科哈尼在一段视频中说。”但美国人民厌倦了政权更迭、代价数十亿美元且危及我们生命的战争。我们不想与中东一个9000万人口的国家交战。”
参议员蒂姆·凯恩也呼吁参议院”立即复会”并就一项两党战争权力决议进行投票,以”阻止美国军队对伊朗的敌对行动”。
“特朗普总统从美国几十年来在伊朗的干预和中东永无止境的战争中什么也没学到吗?他是不是心智失常到无法意识到,我们曾与伊朗达成一项限制其核计划的外交协议,直到他在第一任期内撕毁了它?”他说。”几个月来,我一直在大声疾呼,美国人民想要更低的价格,而不是更多的战争——尤其是那些未经国会授权、违反宪法并缺乏明确目标的战争。”
U.S. lawmakers react after Trump launches military operation against Iran
2026-02-28T08:14:00-0500 / CBS News
Reactions are pouring in after the United States and Israel announced a major military operation against Iran early Saturday, following weeks of threats from President Trump.
Mr. Trump announced the assault, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” in a video on Truth Social. He called on Iran’s military forces to lay down their weapons and on Iran’s civilians to rise up and “take over your government.” Mr. Trump told the Washington Post that he wanted to secure freedom and safety for the Iranian people.
Congressional leaders react
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Iran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile arsenal and support for terrorism “posed a clear and unacceptable threat to U.S. servicemembers, citizens in the region, and many of our allies,” and he praised praised President Trump for “taking action to thwart these threats.”
“I look forward to administration officials briefing all senators about these military operations,” he said. “I commend the bravery of the servicemembers carrying out these operations and pray for the safety of those in harm’s way.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home.”
He said the Trump administration “has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat” and called on the administration to brief Congress both publicly and privately.
“Confronting Iran’s malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity,” Schumer said. “Unfortunately, President Trump’s fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson said “Iran is facing the severe consequences of its evil actions,” and confirmed that the “Gang of Eight,” a group of eight congressional leaders who are legally required to be briefed on classified intelligence matters, had been briefed in detail “earlier this week that military action may become necessary to protect American troops and American citizens in Iran.”
The Trump administration “made every effort to pursue peaceful and diplomatic solutions in response to the Iranian regime’s sustained nuclear ambitions and development, terrorism, and the murder of Americans—and even their own people,” Johnson said. “For decades, Iran has defiantly maintained its nuclear program while arming and funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and other internationally recognized terrorist organizations. Iran and its proxies have menaced America and American lives, undermined our core national interests, systematically destabilized the Middle East, and threatened the security of the entire West.”
House Minority Leader Hakeen Jeffries said in a statement that Mr. Trump “failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking Iran,” and said his “decision to abandon diplomacy and launch a massive military attack has left American troops vulnerable to Iran’s retaliatory actions.”
“Iran is a bad actor and must be aggressively confronted for its human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism and the threat it poses to our allies like Israel and Jordan in the region,” Jeffries said. “However, absent exigent circumstances, the Trump administration must seek authorization for the preemptive use of military force that constitutes an act of war.”
Jeffries also said that if Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed by military strikes in June 2025, as Mr. Trump previously claimed, “there should be no need to strike them now.”
He said the president “must explain itself to the American people and Congress immediately … clearly define the national security objective and articulate a plan to avoid another costly, prolonged military quagmire in the Middle East.”
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer praised what he called “a bold, decisive act of strength by President Trump” and said, “We pray that because of this leadership, the U.S. and the world will be a safer place.”
Republican reactions
Sen. Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi and the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the action a “pivotal and necessary operation to protect Americans and American interests” and said the “Iranian regime has never been weaker.”
Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham said the operation had “been well-planned” and would be “violent, extensive and I believe, at the end of the day, successful.”
“My mind is racing with the thought that the murderous ayatollah’s regime in Iran will soon be no more. The biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years is upon us,” Graham, a Republican representing South Carolina, said on social media. He offered prayers for anyone participating in the operation, and said the effort will make “America more safe and eventually more prosperous.”
Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas and the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, shared a list of crimes committed by Iran and said the “butcher’s bill has finally come due for the ayatollahs.”
Rep. Nancy Mace threw her support behind the president’s action, writing on social media: “President Trump understood what the weak could not bring themselves to say: that peace is not found in appeasement — it is won. The Iranian people have bled for their freedom. Their cries did not fall on deaf ears. Not on Trump’s watch.”
Democrats’ reactions
Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, a Democrat and vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, called the military operation “a deeply consequential decision that risks pulling the United States into another broad conflict in the Middle East.”
He condemned the Iranian regime for supporting terrorism and undermining regional stability, but said, “Acknowledging those realities does not relieve any president of the responsibility to act within the law, with a clear strategy, and with Congress.”
“The American people have seen this playbook before – claims of urgency, misrepresented intelligence, and military action that pulls the United States into regime change and prolonged, costly nation-building. We owe it to our service members, and to every American family, to ensure that we are not repeating the mistakes of the past,” Warner said. “The president owes the country clear answers: What is the objective? What is the strategy to prevent escalation? And how does this make Americans safer?”
Rep. Jim Himes, a ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, called the operation “a war of choice with no strategic endgame.” Himes is a member of the Gang of Eight. He was notified ahead of the start of the operation, a person familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Himes said that he told Secretary of State Marco Rubio during that briefing that “military action in this region almost never ends well for the United States, and conflict with Iran can easily spiral and escalate in ways we cannot anticipate.”
“It does not appear that Donald Trump has learned the lessons of history,” Himes said.
Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania expressed his support for the U.S. strikes on Iran.
“President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,” Fetterman said. “God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.”
Last summer, Fetterman joined his Republican colleagues to vote against a measure that would have blocked Mr. Trump from using military force against Iran. He was the only Democrat to do so.
Sen. Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona and Iraq War veteran, criticized the operation.
“I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war,” Gallego said on social media. “Young working-class kids should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn’t been explained or justified to the American people. We can support the democracy movement and the Iranian people without sending our troops to die.”
Rep. Thomas Massie, a frequent critic of Mr. Trump, appeared to describe the operation as “acts of war unauthorized by Congress” on social media. In June 2025,
Massie introduced a resolution directing the president to “terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran” without an act of Congress. Democrats were planning to compel a vote on a war powers resolution introduced by Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Khanna said Saturday morning that Congress “must convene on Monday” to vote on the resolution “to stop this” and called on Congressional members to share their voting plans over the weekend. Himes said that Mr. Trump’s “own statement acknowledges this is war.”
“Donald Trump has launched a war on Iran. The Congress must reconvene on Monday to vote on Thomas Massie’s and my war powers resolution to stop this war. Trump says his goal is to topple the Iranian regime,” Khanna said in a video. “But the American people are tired of regime change, wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives. We don’t want to be at war with a country of 90 million people in the Middle East.”
Sen. Tim Kaine also called on the Senate to “immediately return to session” and vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution “to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran.”
“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?” he said. “For months, I have raised hell about the fact that the American people want lower prices, not more war—especially wars that aren’t authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution, and don’t have a clear objective.”
