Trump, Tucker Carlson Escalate Public Feud Over Iran, Israel Conflict

A public feud has erupted between President Donald Trump and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson over the U.S. stance on Israel's attacks on Iran, exposing divisions within the MAGA movement. Carlson, who criticizes the administration's support for Israeli strikes and warns against war with Iran, accuses Trump of abandoning America First principles and being complicit in provoking conflict. Trump, attending the G7 summit, dismissed Carlson's criticisms and mocked his independent media efforts, calling him 'kooky' and challenging him to start a network so people would listen. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene defended Carlson, aligning with his anti-war views and emphasizing America First over involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. Meanwhile, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer accused Carlson of hypocrisy for previously advocating military action against Iran while now opposing it, labeling him a 'phony' focused on self-promotion. The exchanges highlight ongoing tensions among conservatives regarding foreign policy and U.S. interventionism in the Middle East.
