Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East due to Israeli strikes on Iran, key Trump allies and right-wing figures express concern over US involvement in potential conflict. Trump's second term, initially marked by promises to end wars, faces scrutiny as many in his base feel betrayed by his tacit endorsement of these military actions. Critics within the Republican party emphasize that steadfast support for Israel contradicts Trump's America First agenda, showcasing internal divisions as they caution against entangling the US in another foreign war.
The Israeli strikes on Iran, which Trump has all but explicitly endorsed, are now testing the president's promise to be a harbinger of peace.
There is a very strong sense of betrayal and anger in many parts of the America First' base because they have truly turned against the idea of the US being involved in or supporting any such wars.
Several conservatives questioned the Israeli strikes on Friday, warning that the US must not be dragged into a war that does not serve its interests.
Influential conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said the US should not support the war-hungry government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
