RELATED COVERAGE >>> US and Israel launch a major attack on Iran. Trump urges Iranians to \u2018take over\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n According to Associated Press reporting<\/a>, a U.S. official says some targets of \u201cOperation Epic Fury\u201d are members of Iran\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n In the wake of the initial strikes, Pennsylvania officials began issuing statements in response to the operation. You can see them below:<\/p>\n Gov. Josh ShapiroLt. Gov. Austin DavisSen. John FettermanSen. Dave McCormick<\/p>\n U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly<\/p>\n \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s decisive military action in Iran once again reinforces his commitment to American security both at home and abroad. Iran has proven time and time again it should not have nuclear weapons. The Iranian regime remains the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terror and has repeatedly targeted America and its allies for years,\u201d said Rep. Kelly. \u201cIranian leaders should work with U.S. officials to reach a diplomatic deal as soon as possible. God bless the men and women of our American military for their courage, dedication, and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio<\/p>\n Once again, an American President is sending brave Americans to fight and bleed in a Middle East regime change war. Let\u2019s be clear: Donald Trump is ordering other people\u2019s kids to risk their lives in an unauthorized war the Congress and the American people have not approved. Congress should reconvene immediately and put an end to this before the region is further destabilized and precious American lives are lost.<\/p>\n To every hawk cheerleading this war\u2014answer a simple question: how many American troops should die for this?<\/p>\n U.S. Rep. Summer Lee<\/p>\n \u201cTrump\u2019s words make it clear he doesn\u2019t care about the safety of Americans and his actions make clear he doesn\u2019t care about the safety of the Iranian people. If he did, he wouldn\u2019t be risking the lives of American troops for the sake of another endless war or trying to turn Iran into a war zone.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom day one Trump has shown us his corruption and desire for regime change in multiple countries that he has no business being in.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an insanely unpopular, dangerous, and illegal act of war. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately and hold this lawless president accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta<\/p>\n \u201cEvery Republican President in my lifetime has brought us an economic recession and a new war.<\/p>\n \u2018No new wars\u2019 was a central plank of Trump\u2019s campaign and yet again he lied.<\/p>\n But more concerning is the clear illegality of these actions, which drag us into conflict without a single vote of Congress.<\/p>\n WE DO NOT NEED AMERICA INVOLVED IN ANOTHER SENSELESS WAR!\u201d<\/p>\n Download the FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. | Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n
