Popular US journalist Tucker Carlson told Bloomberg that Vice President JD Vance would have kept the United States out of the Iran war if he had been president.
He sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the crisis. He said the US intervention in Iran marked a turning point in his relationship with Trump, as the war exposed the Republican Party as no longer reflecting the priorities of its voters.
He accused the Trump administration of abandoning its “America First” foreign policy approach and argued that Washington had failed to resist external pressure in the lead-up to the war with Iran.
The White House rejected those claims, saying President Trump makes decisions based solely on US national interests.
Carlson also questioned the extent of US global influence. He said multiple international actors shape American foreign policy and that the country’s power is more constrained than many assume.
Despite his criticism, Carlson acknowledged his long-standing political support for Trump, describing his decision to publicly oppose the administration’s Iran policy as difficult.
