Lawmakers respond to U.S. launching strikes on 3 Iranian nuclear facilities

Washington - Lawmakers across the political aisle offered a mixed response Saturday following President Trump's announcement that the United States launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

Immediately following Mr. Trump's announcement, Congressional Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Ted Cruz, backed Mr. Trump after he announced in a Truth Social post that "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow."

"There is not another military in the World that could have done this," Mr. Trump said in the post. "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!Thank you for your attention to this matter."
