Longtime Donald Trump supporter Tucker Carlson has suggested that a potential conflict with Iran could be politically devastating for the former president. In an interview with Sky News, Carlson stated that Republicans are now indefensible, implying Trump’s actions regarding Iran are a critical turning point. He was responding to a question about whether a war with Iran would mirror the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal under the Biden administration for Trump. Carlson’s comments represent a significant departure from his previously staunch defense of Trump and his policies. This assessment indicates a growing concern within some conservative circles about the potential consequences of escalating tensions in the Middle East. The interview highlights a potential fracturing of support for Trump as he eyes a possible return to the presidency. Carlson did not elaborate on specific reasons for his changed stance beyond the potential for a protracted conflict with Iran.
