The USA attacks Iran: This is how Democrats & Republicans react to Trump

In the night of Sunday, the USA joined the war between Iran and Israel and bombed three central nuclear facilities of Iran. According to US President Donald Trump, the Fordo, Natans and ISFAhan facilities became “completely destroyed”. If Iran does not agree to a negotiating solution, the United States would target further goals. Iran described the attacks as “lawless and criminal” and reacted with massive rocket attacks on Israel.

The US attack took place nine days after the great attack of Israel on Iran and three days after Trump’s announcement, to make an intervention by the United States within two weeks. The US President explained “a full load of bombs” to the Fordo nuclear facility in his online service Truth Social. All US aircraft involved would have left Iranian airspace safely and were on the way home.

The American attacks met with a shared echo in US politics. During Democrats sharply criticized the military operation, Republicans were majority behind Trump. An overview:

The minority leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem JeffriesTrump accused the United States with intervention in the conflict between Israel and Iran in the direction of war. Trump “misleaded the country about its intentions”. In addition, the US President failed to obtain the permission of the congress for the use of military violence. He “risked America in a potentially catastrophic war in the Middle East”.

The democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Went one step further and said Trump’s procedure clearly justifies an office. “The President’s catastrophic decision to bomb Iran without permission is a serious violation of the constitution and the powers of the congress. He has impulsively risks to start a war that could affect us for generations,” she wrote on the platform X. This makes it one of the first democrats that would be infeit a constitutional punishment after the military.

Article 1 of the constitution gives the congress the authority to “explain war”, one of the greatest powers of the legislative. In the past, however, President of both parties have been militarily against opponents without the consent of the congress, as the portal reported.

At least one other democrat in the House of Representatives, the MP Sean castsupported the elevation. However, he described the attack as “clear office offense”, but admitted that it was extremely unlikely that a democratic minority would remove a Republican president of his office.

The democratic senator Tim Kaine argued that the US public was with a large majority against a war against Iran. Trump had shown a “terrible judgment”.

The democratic senator Bernie Sanders During a speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, learned about the military strike and informed the audience, which then reacted with “never more war!” Calling and boos. He criticized the US war, as “immensely unconstitutional”. Trump had born another heavy burden for the American people.

The deputy chairman of the Senate Committee for Message Services, the Democrat Mark R. Warnersaid President Donald Trump “took steps” that the United States could draw into another war. He accused Trump not to pursue a clear strategy and not to take into account the secret services. Direct military strokes of the United States without approval or consultation with the congress would raise urgent questions. “The constitution clearly stipulates that the authority to approve a war is at the congress, “.. Warner said Trump had to “immediately” step on the congress in order to convey strategic goals and plans for the protection of American life and ensure that the United States is not drawn into another lengthy war.

The California MP Ro Khanna Powers the legislators to return to Washington to sign the War Power’s resolution. “To prevent Iran from having an atomic bomb has a top priority, but the United States to move to another war in the Middle East.

The words of praise and support for Trump predominate for the Republicans. The Republican majority leader in the Senate, John Thunefor example, said: “I stand by President Trump.”

The Republican spokesman for the House of Representatives, Mike Johnsonsaid: “The President’s determined action prevents the world’s largest state terrorist supporter, who chants ‘death for America’, in the possession of the world’s deadliest weapon.”

He also rejected the criticism of the Democrats and argued that the president respected the constitution but had to act quickly. He had previously been taught about the attack, as “The Hill” reported. “The leaders in the congress were aware of the urgency of this situation, and the commander -in -chief came to the conclusion that the immediate danger of the time the congress would have needed for action predominates.” Trump respects the powers of the congress “fully”, he added.

But there was also criticism among Trump’s Republicans: “Even though President Trump’s decision may prove to be correct, it is difficult to find a constitutional reason for it. I am excited about his statements this evening,” wrote the Republican MP Warren Davidson On X.

“This is not constitutional,” said the MP Thomas Massie from Kentucky and referred to the right of the congress to explain the war to other countries.

Massie, together with Khanna in the House of Representatives, brought in a cross -party War’s party, as the broadcaster reported. The aim of this resolution is to “deduct the United States’ armed forces from unexpected hostility in the Islamic State of Iran”. In addition, Trump is asked to terminate the use of American troops against Iran without “approved declaration of war or specific approval on the application of military violence against Iran”.

Trump’s Maga warehouse, on the other hand, is fully behind the president. “Donald Trump will be the most influential president in the history of the United States in history,” wrote the right activist Laura Loomerthat had campaigned for a US military strike. “Ashamed of you, which you described him as a war driver. He saved us all from an atomic Holocaust.”

Charlie Kirka conservative political activist and close ally Trumps, who actually works for non -intervention, wrote on X: “Iran has left no choice. Iran decided to avoid diplomacy in favor of the atomic bomb. This is a surgical blow that was perfect. President Trump acted carefully and determined.”

At the same time, Trump supporters warn that the attack on Iran could split the Maga warehouse. “He has to speak to Maga. There are many Maga supporters who are not happy about it,” said the former Trump consultant Steve Bannon On Saturday in his podcast “War Room”. “I think he’ll get Maga on board, everyone, but he has to explain and pull it through.”
