Most Alabama leaders issue statements supporting the U.S. Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites

June 21, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump (R) addressed the nation to announce that the U.S. has launched devastating attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites.

The U.S. Air Force used B2 stealth bombers armed with bunker buster ordinance to penetrate the hardened bunkers protecting the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.

Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL03) is the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

"The President made the correct decision to strike Iran's nuclear sites," said Congressman Rogers in a statement. "Iran made the choice to continue its pursuit of a nuclear weapon and would only be stopped by force. It would be a grave mistake to attempt any retaliation against our forces or homeland."

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey (R) said on social media, "God bless our country, and God bless our troops! Proud to live in the greatest nation on Earth."

Congressman Dale W. Strong (R-AL04) said on X, "A nuclear-armed Iran is a threat to the entire world. They had ample time to come to the table and make a deal but forced President Trump to take action to ensure the safety of our country and our allies."

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) said on X, "I support President Trump's swift and decisive action to protect America and our allies. Praying for our men and women on the front lines. We stand strong with Israel."

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) said on X, "God bless our Troops. God bless President Trump. And may God continue to bless the United States of America."

Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL04) said on X, "I fully support President Trump's decision to take out Iran's nuclear facilities. As I have said, I believe that if Iran gets a functioning nuclear weapon they would not hesitate to use it against Israel or the United States. When they say death to Israel and death to America, we have no reason not to believe them. I pray this action has made the world safer. President Trump has pledged to get us out of "forever wars." This could be a step toward ending the war we have been in with Iran since 1979. They have killed hundreds and hundreds of Americans in the past half century."

Former State Representative Perry O Hooper Jr, (R-Montgomery) said, "The strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were not just a show of strength-they were a message. A message to Tehran, to their terrorist proxies, and to the world: The United States will not sit idly by while the world's leading sponsor of terror races toward a nuclear bomb."

Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL06) said in a statement, "I fully support President Trump's decision to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. This decision was forced upon us by the refusal of the Iranian leadership to accept the reality that the U.S. would never allow them to have a nuclear weapon. With this action, American resolve to eliminate any and all threats against our country and our allies was put on full display."

Alabama Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth (R) said, "I trust President Donald Trump and believe he is taking the steps necessary to protect our country, promote its interests, and put America first. Iran has been a bad actor for 46 years, and bad actions reap bad consequences. Support our President and ask God to bless America."

Congressman Barry Moore (R-AL01) said on X, "I stand with President Trump. God bless him and our brave service members."

Auburn men's basketball Coach Bruce Pearl said on X, "Thank you Mr president for your strength and vision, keeping us safe. Proud of our troops! You did what no one has had the courage to do for far too long. You were patient and clear. Pray for Peace through prosperity in the Middle East, expand now on the AA. You prevented a War."

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Alabama) said on X, "God bless @realDonaldTrump."

Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL07) took a much harsher tone.

"The Constitution is very clear: only Congress can declare war. The President's unilateral military action is unconstitutional," Rep. Sewell said in a statement. "It puts U.S. forces and our diplomatic personnel at peril and brings us dangerously close to all-out war in the Middle East. The Trump Administration must immediately brief Congress and takes steps to prevent further escalation of this conflict."
