Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, wrote: "’Peace through strength’ means ensuring our existential enemies don’t acquire the most lethal and catastrophic weapons known to man."
And former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz called Trump a "peacemaker."
"President Trump basically wants this to be like the Solimani strike - one and done. No regime change war. Trump the Peacemaker!" he wrote on X.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement that the president "made the correct decision to strike Iran's nuclear sites. 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 retaliate against our forces."
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said on X, "Iran has waged a war of terror against the United States for 46 years. We could never allow Iran to get nuclear weapons. God bless our brave troops. President Trump made the right call and the ayatollahs should recall his warning not to target Americans."
After President Donald Trump said on Saturday evening that the U.S. had completed an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites, Republicans lauded his decision. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

However, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who authored a war powers resolution to prevent the U.S. from getting involved in Iran said the attacks were "not constitutional."
Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, echoed Massie’s sentiments.
"Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress. We need to immediately return to DC and vote on @RepThomasMassie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war," he wrote on X.
