They Slaughtered 30,000 People in the Streets': Fox's Martha MacCallum Confronts Biden Alum John Kirby Over Iran

"I think there's a lot of questions that the American people are rightly asking about the why now?' and the impetus to go this, and I'm sorry that there wasn't more of a public debate and discussion about these decisions going forward. And, now we're in it. And now I think it's really important that the nation unite behind the military."

"Martha, nobody is in front of me in line in hating this regime and what they've done to the Iranian people or to our troops in the region, or their long history of supporting terrorism but the Iranian people deserve better."

"Well, do you think [Ayatollah Ali] Komenei would have stayed in his house or would have gone to the morning meeting that day if we have more discussion about it, John?"

During a Fox News interview, Martha MacCallum pressed John Kirby, former Biden administration spokesman, on President Trump's military operation against Iran conducted with Israel. MacCallum cited support from figures like Condoleezza Rice and General David Petraeus for Trump's decisive action. Kirby expressed concerns about the lack of public discussion and debate preceding the strikes, repeatedly stating he wished for more transparency before military decisions. When pressed directly on whether he believed the action was correct, Kirby deflected, emphasizing the need for national unity behind the military. MacCallum challenged Kirby's position by questioning whether advance discussion would have prevented Iranian leadership from acting. The exchange also touched on Biden-era policies, including a hostage swap and $6 billion in released funds, with MacCallum questioning their humanitarian impact given Iran's subsequent crackdown.
