US Lawmakers, Influencers Unite Behind Trump Iran Nuclear Strikes

President Donald Trump's recent airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites have drawn widespread support from Republicans, hawkish Democrats, and influential figures within the MAGA movement, who view the strikes as a necessary measure to weaken the Islamic Republic and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iranian Americans, including those in Las Vegas, have expressed approval of the U.S. actions, seeing them as a blow to the oppressive regime in Tehran. Despite the controversy over Trump bypassing Congress before launching the attacks, his aides and supporters emphasize the strikes as a limited action targeting Iran's nuclear capabilities rather than a declaration of war. The MAGA base, initially divided over potential conflict with Iran, has rapidly unified around Trump’s decision, provided it avoids escalating to a full-scale ground war. Critics have voiced concerns over the legality and implications of the strikes, but prominent voices, including former NFL players, have praised Trump's decisive approach in protecting U.S. and allied security interests. This broad coalition underscores a rare moment of consensus on Iran policy amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
