Conservative Backlash Mounts Over U.S.-Israel Strikes on Iran

Prominent right-wing voices question the intelligence case, casting the Iran campaign as a break with 'America First'.

Overview

Trump announced major combat operations in Iran as joint strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior officials.
Reports cite heavy civilian deaths, including at least 165 people—mostly children—killed at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran.
Mediaite reports six U.S. service members have been killed, and Trump has said the campaign could last weeks.
Megyn Kelly rejects claims that Iran planned preemptive strikes on U.S. military and civilian targets and blames figures like Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Lindsey Graham, and Miriam Adelson for pushing the action.
Marjorie Taylor Greene denounces the operation as a violation of 'America First' and questions Trump’s decision-making, while a New York Times report cited by Mediaite says Benjamin Netanyahu was instrumental in persuading Trump to act.
