- 费特曼表态支持特朗普对伊朗的强硬立场
- 格雷厄姆赞扬特朗普为“和平使者”

- 特朗普呼吁伊朗民众“在我们完成任务后接管政府”
- 共和党议员对行动表示支持与质疑并存
作为以色列坚定的左翼捍卫者之一，宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼周六上午在两党议员纷纷表态之际，全力支持总统唐纳德·特朗普对伊朗的攻击行动。
“特朗普总统一直愿意采取正确且必要的行动，以在该地区实现真正的和平，”费特曼在社交平台X上写道。”愿上帝保佑美国、我们伟大的军队和以色列。”
南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）是国会中最支持大胆军事行动的议员之一，他将特朗普总统誉为”和平使者”和”邪恶的最大噩梦”。
“当我观察和监控这场历史性行动时，我对特朗普总统追求和平的决心感到敬畏，但归根结底，他是邪恶的最大噩梦，”格雷厄姆周六上午在X平台上连续发帖称。”干得好，总统先生。”
一名美国官员告诉福克斯新闻首席国家安全记者詹妮弗·格里芬，特朗普政府在中东的美军舰队正与以色列协同行动，打击构成”迫在眉睫威胁”的军事目标和弹道导弹基地。
该官员补充说，美国军方并未以伊朗领导层为目标，但以色列正在这么做。
周六上午，针对伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊（86岁）位于德黑兰市中心的官邸发动了袭击。
特朗普在社交媒体上发表视频声明，敦促伊朗民众暂时避让，但”当我们完成任务后，接管你们的政府；它将是你们的。”
“感谢@总统（特朗普）策划并执行’史诗般的愤怒’行动，让美国更加安全并最终走向繁荣，”格雷厄姆补充道。”我祈求上帝保护所有在特朗普总统指挥下的人，以及我们在以色列的盟友。

“一想到伊朗这个残暴的阿亚图拉政权即将不复存在，我就心潮澎湃。
尽管数小时前就有爆炸报告传出，格雷厄姆在东部时间凌晨3点后首次表示支持此次行动，称”此次行动是必要且长期合理的”。
“中东一千年来最大的变革正在发生，”格雷厄姆在X平台的第二篇帖子中补充道。”沙特阿拉伯和以色列恢复关系正常化的可能性非常高——这是我上周向该地区关键人物提出的话题，他们一致认为，如果阿亚图拉倒台，将带来历史性的和平进展。”
在袭击正在进行且战斗损伤评估尚未完成之际，格雷厄姆为参与此次行动的部队祈祷。
“对于为我们国家和以色列执行此次行动的男男女女，愿上帝保佑你们并保证你们的安全，”他写道。”如果你们受伤或倒下，我坚信你们的牺牲会让你们的国家和世界变得更美好、更安全。这就是你们选择服役的时刻。
“此次行动计划周密。它将是暴力的、广泛的，而且我相信最终会取得成功。阿亚图拉政权沾满美国鲜血而走向覆灭，这是必要且完全合理的。”

此外，特朗普长期以来的共和党批评者、肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西也在X平台发文指出，特朗普未寻求国会批准——尽管本周早些时候曾与”八人小组”进行过简报。
“未经国会授权的战争行为，”马西在X平台上写道。
参议院武装部队委员会主席、密西西比州共和党人罗杰·威克称赞了针对”世界领先的恐怖主义扩散者”采取的”果断行动”。
“这是保护美国人和美国利益的关键且必要的行动，”威克在一份声明中写道。”总统已明确说明行动目标：永久挫败阿亚图拉们制造核武器的企图，削弱其弹道导弹部队及其生产能力，摧毁其海军和恐怖主义能力。
“这些是任何美国总统都将面临的最艰难决定，我赞赏特朗普总统和他的团队制定了全面战略，运用国家权力的所有工具，并进行了精心策划的军事规划过程。”

威克表示，现在正是采取行动的时机。
“伊朗政权从未如此虚弱，”他补充道。”如果不使用军事力量打击他们，伊朗的阿亚图拉们将继续增强威胁美国人和美国利益的能力，与中国共产党、俄罗斯独裁者普京、朝鲜以及其他恐怖主义盟友勾结。
“阿亚图拉们将伊朗普通民众的经济未来抵押出去，以实现他们偏执和末日审判般的愿景。
最重要的是，我赞扬勇敢的美国武装部队成员，他们继续展示着举世无双的作战能力。这一点将在未来几天得到证明。多亏了他们，美国人现在更安全——不仅是今天，而是为了世世代代。”

As one of Israel’s staunchest defenders from the left, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., full-throatedly endorsed President Donald Trump’s attacks on Iran as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reacted Saturday morning.
“President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,” Fetterman wrote on X. “God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of Congress’ biggest backers of bold military action, is hailing President Donald Trump as a “man of peace,” and “evil’s worst nightmare.”
“As I watch and monitor this historic operation, I’m in awe of President Trump’s determination to be a man of peace but at the end of the day, evil’s worst nightmare,” Graham wrote Saturday morning on X in a string of posts. “Well done, Mr. President.”
Trump’s U.S. military armada in the Middle East, working in concert with Israel, is targeting military targets and ballistic missile sites that pose an “imminent threat,” a U.S. official told Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin.
The U.S. military is not targeting Iran’s leadership, but Israel is, the official added.
Strikes hit the compound home of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, in downtown Tehran on Saturday morning.
And Trump issued a video statement on social media, urging Iranian people to get out of the way for now, but “when we are finished, take over your government; It will be yours to take.”
“God bless @POTUS for planning and now executing Operation Epic Fury, making America more safe and eventually more prosperous,” Graham added. “I seek God’s protection for all under President Trump’s command, as well as our allies in Israel.

“My mind is racing with the thought that the murderous ayatollah’s regime in Iran will soon be no more.
While reports of explosions happened hours earlier, Graham posted his first support for the actions after 3 a.m. ET, calling the “operation is necessary and long justified.”
“The biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years is upon us,” Graham added in his second post on X. “The likelihood of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel getting back on track is exceedingly high – a subject I brought up last week to the key players in the region who concurred if the ayatollah goes down, historic peace advances.”
As the attacks were under way and battle damage assessments were yet to come, Graham delivered his prayers to the troops undertaking the operation.
“As to the men and women participating in this operation for our country and Israel, may God bless you and keep you safe,” he wrote. “If you are injured or fall, I believe with all my heart that your sacrifice makes your country and the world a better and safer place. This moment is why you chose to serve.
“This operation has been well-planned. It will be violent, extensive and I believe, at the end of the day, successful. Again the demise of the ayatollah’s regime with American blood on its hands is necessary and more than justified.”

And, one of Trump’s long-time Republican critics, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., also posted on X, noting Trump has not sought congressional approval – although there was a briefing held with the Gang of Eight earlier this week.
“Acts of war unauthorized by Congress,” Massie wrote on X.
Senate Armed Forces Committee Chair Roger Wicker, R-Miss., praised the “decisive action” against “the world’s leading proliferator of terrorism.”
“This is a pivotal and necessary operation to protect Americans and American interests,” Wicker wrote in a statement. “The president has stated the operation’s goals clearly: thwart permanently the ayatollahs’ desire to create a nuclear weapon, degrade their ballistic missile force and their production capacity, and destroy their naval and terrorism capabilities.
“These are the hardest decisions that face any American commander-in-chief, and I appreciate that President Trump and his team conducted a comprehensive strategy using all tools of national power and a well-orchestrated military planning process.”

The time to strike was now, according to Wicker.
“The Iranian regime has never been weaker,” he added. “Without the use of military force against them, Iran’s ayatollahs would simply continue to grow their ability to threaten Americans and our interests, working in concert with the Chinese Communist Party, the Russian dictator Putin, North Korea, and other terrorist allies.
“The ayatollahs have mortgaged the economic future of ordinary Iranians to engage in their obsessive and apocalyptic vision.
Most importantly, I commend the brave men and women of our armed forces, who continue to demonstrate a level of operational proficiency unrivaled the world over. That fact will be evident in the coming days. Thanks to them, Americans are safer – not just today, but for generations to come.”
