Trump Warns Iran of US Military Force Amid Israel Strikes, Carlson Alleges US Complicity

President Donald Trump has publicly supported Israel's recent military strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, asserting that Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. Trump disavowed direct U.S. involvement in the attacks but warned Iran against retaliation, threatening unprecedented military force if attacked. His stance has drawn sharp criticism from former ally and media figure Tucker Carlson, who accused Trump of complicity in the strikes due to years of U.S. funding and weapons supplied to Israel, arguing this conflicts with Trump's 'America First' platform. Carlson further labeled prominent conservative media personalities and donors as 'warmongers' for advocating direct U.S. military involvement, warning that such actions risk fracturing the MAGA coalition and dividing the right-wing base. Despite Carlson's criticism, Trump maintains that his definition of 'America First' justifies opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran and supports Israel's right to act, while White House officials deny any direct U.S. participation in the strikes. The escalating conflict has heightened tensions in the Middle East and cast uncertainty on ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran.
