President Donald Trump faced criticism from some members of his Maga movement after ordering strikes against Iran, with concerns raised about potential retaliation against US military personnel by Iran and its allies.

Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, expressed that the majority of Americans do not want to be involved in such conflicts. The decision to attack Iran exposed deep divisions within the pro-Trump camp even before the strikes took place.

While hawks like Senator Lindsey Graham and radio host Mark Levin supported US intervention in Israel's conflict with Iran, others like Bannon and Tucker Carlson advised against military engagement.

Carlson argued that there was no credible intelligence to justify an attack on Iran and questioned the need for such actions.

Critics warned that Trump's decision to strike Iran would contradict his promise to end "forever wars" and keep the US out of Middle East conflicts, putting American troops at risk of retaliation.

There were concerns that Trump was influenced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to participate in the military operation against Iran, shifting away from diplomatic efforts to address Iran's nuclear program.

Some right-wing podcasters expressed confusion and disillusionment over Trump's actions, feeling that the US was prioritizing Israel's interests over its own.

While some supporters like Marjorie Taylor Greene called for peace, others like Charlie Kirk defended Trump's decision but acknowledged the potential consequences of escalating tensions.

There were fears that Trump might be drawn into further involvement in the conflict, particularly in supporting Israeli efforts to destabilize the Iranian regime.

Overall, there were mixed reactions within the Maga base, with some demanding explanations and reassurances from Trump about his actions.
