Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., on Thursday slammed his Democratic colleagues for his or her refusal to sentence Iran for its assault on Israel in retaliation for the lethal bombing of its Syrian consulate earlier this month.
“I sincerely thought I’d by no means witness members of my occasion refuse to sentence Iran – one of many world’s main terrorism sponsors – after launching a whole lot of drones towards our particular ally, Israel,” Fetterman wrote on X, previously often called Twitter. “No phrases.”
Greater than a dozen Home Democrats on Thursday voted towards a decision condemning Iran for firing a barrage of rockets at Israel over the weekend. U.S. officers mentioned 99% of these had been intercepted.
The transfer, in retaliation for Israel’s assault on its consulate in Damascus, signified a significant escalation of tensions amid Israel’s ongoing struggle with Hamas. Regardless of a long time of hostilities, Iran has by no means instantly attacked Israel, as a substitute counting on proxy forces in Iraq, Lebanon, and elsewhere.
