<p style="font-weight: 400;">Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, breaking with his party once again, said he favors the United States intervening in Iran against the tyrannical regime that is reportedly brutally murdering its own citizens in order to retain power.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The ruthless Iranian regime has been callously slaughtering civilians who aren’t even involved in the nationwide anti-government protests, horrified witnesses said — as the death toll surged on Tuesday to roughly 2,000,” The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/13/world-news/iran-is-now-slaughtering-civilians-who-arent-involved-in-anti-regime-protests-witnesses-warn-as-death-toll-surges-into-the-thousands/">reported</a>. “Chilling eyewitness accounts of the bloodshed started emerging late Monday after Iranians were finally able to make international calls after authorities cut the country’s internet supply as part of its merciless crackdown.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday, speaking of possible strikes on Iran, Fetterman said on CNN, “Those strikes make sense, absolutely. I do support those things. &#8230; I&#8217;m saying I&#8217;m open to that. And I am actually inspired by the real kinds of courage that those protesters in Iran are demonstrating now. “</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“So I don&#8217;t know why we can&#8217;t all want to support that to back them and now bring that awful regime to its knees,” he continued. “Now, that&#8217;s where it&#8217;s at right now. They&#8217;re so desperate. They killed the internet, and now they&#8217;re mowing down their own citizens. Now they&#8217;re even so desperate, offering six dollars a month as some kind of a payoff now, too. Now for me, I think we can all agree that the world would be better, safer and more just if you could break that regime.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fetterman’s rhetoric echoed the words of former Speaker of the House and eminent historian Newt Gingrich, who bluntly stated on X, “It is not enough to sympathize with the Iranian people in their struggle to get free from the dictatorship which is clearly killing dissidents and fighting for its very survival. It is not enough to have government leaders publicly talking about support for the Iranian people but failing to do anything real. It is also not enough to send token support but fail to take the steps necessary to replace the dictatorship. In a few weeks either the dictatorship will be gone or the Iranian people will have been defeated and suppressed and a campaign to find the ringleaders and kill them will have begun.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“There is no middle ground,” he continued. “The goal of every western [sic] leader should be to destroy the Iranian dictatorship at this moment of its vulnerability. Nothing will do more to move the Middle East toward peace, safety, and prosperity than the destruction of the Ayatollah’s dictatorship. The time to act is NOW.”</p>
