US must treat Iran like 'cancer,' Senator Fetterman says
US Senator John Fetterman said Thursday that Tehran should be confronted with military force over its nuclear program, adding that the Islamic Republic can only be dealt with through “strength and power.”
“I think I clearly… how could you allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb?” Fetterman said in an interview on Fox News. “Now we’ve demonstrated that the only thing Iran ever responds to is strength and power… you can’t negotiate with cancer. You have to attack it and go right at it with superior force.”
Fetterman, who was the only Democrat last year to publicly advocate for stronger action, questioned why the US has not struck Iran’s stockpiles of near weapons-grade uranium. “If they have 900 pounds of near weapons-grade uranium, why wouldn’t you strike that? Why wouldn’t you hold them accountable that way?” he said.
