Louisiana's congressional delegation largely divided along party lines following President Trump's Saturday military strikes on Iran, conducted jointly with Israel and targeting Iranian leaders and nuclear capabilities. Republican members including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Senators Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy expressed support for the strikes, citing Iran's nuclear ambitions and sponsorship of terrorism. Democratic representatives Troy Carter and Cleo Fields stopped short of condemning the attack but raised concerns about congressional authority, with Fields criticizing Trump for bypassing the War Powers Act.
