Among the surrogates who spoke against American commitment, former senior adviser Steve Bannon; Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; Commentator Tucker Carlson; and Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point. Part of their consternation was rooted in their own vocalized Trump’s antipathy for what he and others called “war forever” in previous administrations.
As the possibilities of military actions approached, some of these voices arduous their rhetoric. According to Trump, Carlson even called “apology”.
Here’s what some of the greatest supporters of Trump about military involvement in the USA in Iran said:
Steve Bannon

On Wednesday, Bannon admitted that although he and others would argue against military intervention to the end, “Maga’s movement will ask Trump.”
Ultimately, Bannon said that Trump would have to justify the American people if he wanted to get involved in Iran.
“We don’t like it. Maybe we hate it,” Bannon said, predicting what the magician’s answer would be. “But you know, we’ll get on board.”
Tucker Carlson
The rhetoric of the commentator towards Trump was more and more critical. Carlson, who organized immense rallies with a Republican during the 2024 campaign, at the beginning of this month suggested that the president’s attitude was breaking the commitment to stop the US away from recent foreign entanglements. Trump clapped in Carlson in social media, calling him “Kooky”.
Trump said during a party at the White House on Wednesday Carlson “I called and apologized” for calling him. Trump said Carlson “is a nice guy.”
Carlson’s conversation with Senator Ted Cruz, R-texas, on that day set divisions between many Republicans. They both paired for two hours in various problems, primarily about the possible US involvement in Iran. Carlson accused Cruz of too much emphasis on protecting Israel in his foreign policy worldview.
“You don’t know anything about Iran,” Carlson said to Cruz, after the senator said that he did not know the Iranian population or its ethnic composition. “You are a senator who calls for the overthrow of the government and you don’t know anything about the country.”

Saying that the former FOX News commentator “unappeatically believes in the same thing as I do”, Greene wrote on X last week that these beliefs include “changing the foreign war/intervention/regime, putting America to the last, killing innocent people, make us rinse us and will eventually lead to our destruction.”
“This is not Kooy,” Greene added, using the same word that Trump used to describe Carlson. “Millions of Americans voted for this. This is America first.”
About an hour before the announcement of Trump, Greene published on X that “every time America is on the verge of size, we are involved in another foreign war.”
“This is not our fight,” she added. “Peace is an answer.”
In another post after the announcement of Trump, Greene called: “Let’s join together and pray for peace.”
Alex Jones
. Extremely right -wing conspiracy theoretician And the host Infowars published in social media at the beginning of the week next to the official presidential shot of Trump and artificial intelligence consisting of Trump and former republican president George W. Bush. Trump and many of his allies have long been discredit Bush for the involvement of the United States in the “war forever” in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Writing “what you voted” above the image of Trump and “What you you Got” over the composite, Jones added: “I hope this is not so …”
Charlie Kirk
Kirk is among those who seemed brisk.
About an hour after the announcement of Trump Kirk, he published a series of messages in social media supporting Trump, saying that Iran gave the president “without choice.” Kirk praised Trump for “prudence and decision -making” and “to improve humanity.”
Kirk also published a tweet from 2011, in which Trump wrote that “the search for nuclear weapons Iran is the main threat to the interests of the national security of our nation. We cannot allow Iran to nuclear.”
“When Trump says, you should listen,” added Kirk.
It was a different tone from the beginning of the week, when Kirk said in an interview with Fox News that “this is the moment when President Trump was elected.” But he warned against the potential division of the magician into Iran.
A few days later, Kirk said that “Trump’s voters, especially young people, supported President Trump because he was the first president in my life who did not start a new war.” He also wrote that “historically slight support for America is actively involved in another offensive war in the Middle East. We have to work and pray for peace.”
According to Kirk, “the last thing that America needs now is a new war. Our thirst number one must be peace as soon as possible.”
