Rep. John Fetterman, D-Penn., discusses his colleagues' disagreements with Operation Epic Fury and President Donald Trump's efforts in Iran on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., penned a letter to the Department of Homeland Security requesting special security accommodations for the upcoming NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
Fetterman cited concerns amid the ongoing Iran War for his desire for more security.
"I urge the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to elevate the Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) for the National Football League's 2026 Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to ensure the safety of participants and fans at the event. The NFL Draft is one of the most iconic sporting events held each year," the letter began.
The draft is set to take place in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
President Donald Trump declared Iran is "essentially really no longer a threat" after a 32-day U.S. military campaign, during a primetime address Wednesday.
"I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly. Very shortly, we are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks," Trump said. "We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing."
"We are in this military operation ... for 32 days," he added. "And the country has been eviscerated and essentially is really no longer a threat."
Since then, U.S. forces have struck more than 12,000 targets inside Iran and damaged or destroyed 155 naval ships, according to the Central Command. Thirteen U.S. service members have died in the operations, and 350 have been injured.
