Local members of the House and Senate are reacting to this weekend's military strikes against Iran.
While Democratic Senator John Fetterman was among the first on Saturday to speak in favor of the attack, most other local reaction falls along party lines.
Republican Senator Dave McCormick told KDKA's Marty Griffin Iran has been trying to restart its nuclear program.
“There’s also evidence that despite what they said, that they were taking efforts to restart their nuclear program following the strikes under midnight hammer,” said Sen. McCormick.
Democratic Congressman Chris Deluzio says the President should have made his case to Congress first.
Rep. Deluzio tells KDKA radio’s Marty Griffin there are some things Congress can do.
“We can say, ‘you can’t spend money’ if we don’t say its worth Americans risking their lives, we can say ‘you got to withdraw forces’, if we don’t think it’s work Americans risking their lives,” said Deluzio.
Deluzio adds that most of the Iranian leadership has been taken out, but there is no plan for “what comes next.”
But, Senator McCormick says President Trump has acted within his powers.
“Under the War Power Act, he has to notify the Congress, his team did that and then he has 90 days before he has further requirements,” said McCormick.
Democrat Summer Lee called it an "insanely unpopular, dangerous and illegal act of war."
Republican Guy Reschenthaler said the effort is in his words, essential to safeguarding American lives at home and abroad.
