Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he added.Fetterman’s praise was echoed by other key leaders on Capitol Hill like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).“The military operations in Iran should serve as a clear reminder to our adversaries and allies that President Trump means what he says,” Johnson said in a statement.“The President gave Iran’s leader every opportunity to make a deal, but Iran refused to commit to a nuclear disarmament agreement.“President Trump has been consistent and clear that a nuclear-armed Iran will not be tolerated.
