John Fetterman to Trump: Stop talking and start striking Iran’s nukes now

Senator John Fetterman has called on U.S. President Donald Trump to abandon ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran and instead order direct military strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities. In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon, the Pennsylvania Democrat minced no words, urging Trump to “waste that s–t,” referring to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

With the Trump administration reportedly preparing for a third round of talks with Iranian officials this Saturday in a bid to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, Fetterman insisted further negotiations are futile. “You’re never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime,” he said, describing Iran as a destabilizing force in the region for decades.

The senator brushed aside concerns from foreign policy experts warning that military action could spark a regional war. He called those experts “so-called” and “wrong,” pointing to what he described as the weakening of Iran’s regional proxies. “Hezbollah couldn’t fight for s–t,” he said. “And Hamas, literally, are just a bunch of tunnel rats with junkie rockets in the back of a Toyota truck.”

Fetterman added that the Houthis, another Iranian-backed group, had also been “effectively neutered.”

“What’s left?” he asked. “You have Iran, and they have a nuclear facility, and it’s clearly only for weapons.”

Fetterman voiced support for Trump’s 2018 decision to withdraw from the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, but criticized renewed efforts to negotiate. “I completely understood why Trump withdrew,” he said. “Today, I can’t understand why Trump would negotiate with this diseased regime. The negotiations should be comprised of 30,000-pound bombs and the IDF.”
