Trump Gives Big Update on Iran Amid Reports Of Cease-Fire Violations

Sen. John Fetterman told Fox News host Jesse Watters Thursday evening that much of the U.S. media was “carrying water” for Iran, likely to spite President Trump, though he refused to call out his fellow Democrats for the same thing.

Watters asked, “Senator, do some members of your party think Trump is more dangerous than the Iranians?” – a question that stems from criticism of the president over the murderous and terrorism-supporting regime in Tehran, despite the fact that Democrats have joined Republicans in condemning Iran’s nuclear weapons pursuits for decades.

“I can’t speak for my other Democrats, but the American media has, essentially, become — carrying water for Iran,” Fetterman said. “And they’re describing the kinds of circumstances, then they forget the way Iran has behaved.

“And why can’t we just call what Iran has been — and what it continues to do, those things? America is the force of good in the world, and holding Iran accountable, what they’ve done, is important,” he said.

Fetterman delivered a combative defense of U.S. military operations in Iran during a heated exchange last month with with former Daily Caller staffer and current CNN host Kaitlan Collins — and at one point bluntly told her, “You don’t have to cut me off here.”
