Fetterman refrains from signing letter calling for a probe into US bombing of Iranian girls' school [View all]
Just a week after Sen. John Fetterman helped Republicans block a war powers resolution intended to halt President Donald Trump and Israel’s assault on Iran, the Pennsylvania Democrat again bucked his own party on Wednesday by not signing on to a letter calling for a probe into an apparent US bombing of a girls’ school in the Iranian city Minab that killed around 175 people, mostly young children.
As with the unsuccessful resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Fetterman was the only member of the Senate Democratic Caucus—which includes Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Angus King (I-Maine)—who didn’t endorse the letter to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Fetterman has signaled support for Operation Epic Fury and promoted Trump’s narrative that it’s motivated by preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. During a Tuesday appearance on Newsmax, he claimed that “negotiating treaties” and coordinating with regional allies “never worked,” and wondered why Democrats can’t “agree what’s happened is a very, very positive development for world peace.”
