In a wide‑range interview with Fox News Digital, Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine, a vocal supporter of President Trump, warned that the United States must prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Fine argued that the Democratic Party is effectively on Iran’s side because of its animus toward President Trump.
Democrats and Iran
Fine said, “It’s clear to me that Democrats are on the side of Iran, and it’s simply because they hate President Trump.” He added that the same Democrats who have called for the removal of Iran’s mainstream religious leaders are now upset when President Trump takes action against the regime.
Link to Ilhan Omar
During the interview, Fine also revisited the controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D‑Minn.). He suggested that if Omar engaged in immigration fraud, she should be deported and denaturalized, citing alleged discrepancies in her financial disclosures. A request for comment to Omar’s office went unanswered.
Islam and American Values
Fine connected the Iran issue to a broader cultural conflict with mainstream Islam. He described a video he saw of a Texas mosque allegedly erasing a church and building a new mosque, claiming the effort was aimed at eliminating Christianity in the United States. “People are petrified to speak the truth about mainstream Islam,” Fine said, warning that America could face a situation similar to the United Islamic Kingdom if it does not confront the problem.
Iran’s Nuclear Threat
Fine emphasized that Iran has spent “tons of money” on long‑range missiles capable of reaching the United States. He noted that Iran’s missile program can already target Israel and Europe, and that the regime is seeking a nuclear weapon that could threaten the U.S. east coast. “We cannot allow that to happen,” he said, adding that he fully supports President Trump’s actions to counter the Iranian threat.
America‑First Perspective
While Fine expressed strong support for President Trump’s stance on Iran, he cautioned that regime change should not be an explicit foreign‑policy goal. “If crazy people want to run Iran, that’s not America’s problem unless they threaten America,” he said, reaffirming his America‑First outlook.
Political Implications
Fine warned that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has called on the American electorate to oppose President Trump in the upcoming midterm elections, a move he believes could influence the ballot box. He concluded by reiterating his belief that Democrats are effectively voting for a party endorsed by “Muslim terrorists in Iran.”
Fine’s remarks reflect a broader Republican narrative that frames Democratic opposition to President Trump as aligning with foreign adversaries, while positioning the Trump administration’s foreign‑policy actions as essential to protecting American families and faith traditions.
