Trump Criticizes Tucker Carlson over Israel-Iran Conflict Clash

A public rift has emerged between President Donald Trump and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson over U.S. involvement in the recent Israel-Iran conflict. Carlson, a former Trump ally, criticized Trump for being “complicit” in Israel’s missile strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and warned that escalation could end Trump’s presidency. Trump responded by calling Carlson “kooky” and dismissed his critiques on the Truth Social platform. The dispute reflects deeper divisions within Trump’s coalition, with Carlson accusing prominent figures in conservative media of pushing for greater U.S. military engagement, while Trump maintains a stance of supporting Israel without direct American military involvement. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed support for Carlson’s non-interventionist views, emphasizing an “America First” approach and warning against a Middle Eastern war. This feud highlights tensions over foreign policy amidst ongoing conflict in the Middle East and differing visions on America’s role.
