On Friday, Republicans celebrated Israel's military strikes against Iran, interpreting it as a vital act of self-defense against nuclear threats, while Democrats criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for sabotaging peaceful negotiations. The divide highlights how Iran remains unpopular in U.S. politics, contrasted with Israel's support in Congress, despite nuanced Democratic views on its Gaza conduct. The strikes potentially jeopardize diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, a topic that has seen both Trump and Biden struggle to form effective agreements post-2015 deal.
Republicans praised Israel's recent strikes on Iran, viewing them as necessary actions to defend against nuclear threats, while Democrats criticized Netanyahu's approach to peace talks.
