The Left’s latest outrage regarding Iran stems from the U.S. sinking an Iranian vessel in international waters, marking the first torpedo-based attack since World War II. While this strike wasn’t illegal, the Left is using it to fuel their ongoing anti-Trump narrative.
When asked about the situation, Fetterman provided a reasonable and quite humorous response.
Senator John Fetterman’s response to @prem_thakker when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters:

“I was wondering what you made of the Department of War’s sinking of an Iranian naval ship today,” said the Zeteo reporter.
“I want to offer condolences to your boss,” Fetterman replied, in reference to the fact that Zeteo is Mehdi Hasan’s media outlet. “I know he’s all broke up about the Ayatollah.”
This writer has a confession: Fetterman is the only Democrat I like.
“Yeah, no, what I’m saying though … I know who you work for, it’s very anti-Israel,” Fetterman continued, “It is very anti-Israel and I’m very pro-Israel. So we can agree to disagree on things.”
The reporter kept at it.
“Do you think it’s okay for the U.S. to bomb an Iranian naval ship in international waters?” he asked.
“I think the world’s better that he’s dead. And I think it’s a good thing now that Iran will never acquire a nuclear bomb,” Fetterman said.
“Is it okay for the U.S. to bomb naval ships without a declaration of war, though?” the reporter asked.
“I’m sorry. I support killing the Iranian leadership,” Fetterman replied. “Why wasn’t [Hasan] upset about the way they killed all the Iranians? He wasn’t angry about the killing of thousands and thousands of young Iranians. He didn’t seem bothered by that.”
That’s an important question, especially considering the reporter mentioned that Zeteo focuses on “humanitarian” stories. It seems that the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians would certainly fit into that category, rather than just the U.S. targeting more of Iran’s military forces.
Fetterman is an American treasure

Fetterman made Zeteo look like a fool.
Fetterman is great. He is hounded every day by the Democrats' media enforcers and he brushes them off like flies. https://t.co/1wCkEhIhvb

He sure is.
By the way, this is exactly what the Democrats and their media allies deserve. Fetterman dismissed the question’s premise and redirected the discussion to the hypocrisy of Hasan and the rest of the Left regarding the Iranian issue.
