said he was “not happy” with the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei.

Fetterman has been one of the few Democrats to praise Trump’s strikes l in Operation Epic Fury. On Wednesday, Fetterman said the series of offensive assaults have been a “success thus far” in destroying the Iranian nuclear apparatus.

Fetterman went against the Democrat grain by not signing a letter urging the Trump administration to address a strike on an Iranian school for girls where a preliminary investigation found the U.S. was likely responsible.

“My red line is boots on the ground,” Fetterman said.

Fetterman later questioned his fellow party members’ apprehension.

“I would just like to remind everybody watching that every single Democratic presidential candidate always identified that Iran is a top, top security issue. And every single Democrat in the Senate and in the House, you know, says we can never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. And Kamala Harris, when she was running just back in ’24, she identified Iran as her top, top international concern,” Fetterman said.

“And now she, of course, would never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. And now someone actually made that virtually impossible after this operation. I truly don’t understand why Democrats can’t even acknowledge that this has made the world more safe and more secure, you know, not just all of us, but not just especially the region as well, too.”
