NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Moments after President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, Tennessee lawmakers gave their reactions.

.@POTUS’s decisive leadership enforced deadlines and redlines. This was a tough decision, one that, as always, President Trump put the interests of the American people first in making. May this be the end of Iran’s nuclear weapon ambitions and lay the groundwork for lasting peace.

Sen. Bill Hagerty

.@realDonaldTrump knows peace can only be achieved through strength. This is a victory for the United States.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn

In addition to the post, Blackburn attached a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post announcing the attack. Representative Charles "Chuck" Fleischmann reposted Blackburn's post.

President Trump has tried over and over again to come to a peaceful agreement with Iran, but they have refused to work with us. While I believe war should never be an option, I am proud of President Trump and our military on a successful operation to deter the spread of war in the Middle East.

Rep. Diana Harshbarger, in addition to reposting Trump's X post

We must end Iran’s nuclear ambitions and protect American lives. Praise God for a successful mission—keep praying for our country.

Rep. Andy Ogles, who also included an emoticon of the American flag and reposted a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post

The United States has given Tehran every opportunity to forgo its nuclear ambitions; it has repeatedly refused. President Trump made the right decision. A nuclear armed Iran would be detrimental to the existence of our ally Israel, the stability of the Middle East, and our own national security.

Rep. Mark Green

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for demonstrating strong leadership on the World stage. Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. This is peace through strength!

Rep. David Kustoff, who also included an emoticon of the American flag and reposted a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post
