US must enable Israel to destroy Iran nuclear capabilities, Fetterman says

A Democratic senator has called on the Trump administration not to negotiate with Tehran and to provide Israel with whatever it needs to destroy the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities.

"The only purpose of Iran's nuclear program is to create weapons," said Senator John Fetterman in a post on X on Friday. "We can't allow that or negotiate with this regime."

The United States should "provide our comprehensive military support and whatever else Israel requires to destroy Iran's capabilities," the outspoken pro-Israel lawmaker added.

Fetterman made the remarks in reaction to an Axios report about a meeting between Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli officials in Paris about nuclear talks with Iran, a second round of which is slated for Saturday in Rome.
