Trump Defends Iran Strikes Amid Mixed US Public, GOP Reactions
President Donald Trump ordered strikes on multiple Iranian military and nuclear sites in June 2025, an operation dubbed 'Midnight Hammer.' The Trump administration and some supporters, including certain America First conservatives, have defended the strikes as decisive actions to protect U.S. interests and prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, emphasizing that Trump aims to avoid prolonged conflicts. However, public opinion polls showed significant opposition among Americans, including many Democrats, independents, and some Republicans, with concerns that the attacks might reduce U.S. safety and escalate into broader conflict. Some Trump voters expressed support for the strikes, trusting his leadership to prevent a long-term war, while others within his own party and conservative circles criticized the actions as a betrayal of his noninterventionist campaign promises. The administration faced criticism from media and political figures skeptical of the operation's effectiveness, and Trump publicly rebuked dissenters within his party. The situation remains tense as Iran retaliated with missile attacks on U.S. bases in the region, highlighting ongoing volatility following the strikes.
