Tucker Carlson Says Voters Feel Let Down by Trump over Iran War

Carlson said many non-traditional Trump voters feel betrayed by Iran strikes, with a Washington Post poll showing Republican support rising from 54% to 66%.

  • Thirteen American service members have been killed and 140 wounded as the US-led war effort against Iran continues, with markets roiled by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most vital energy shipping lane.
  • Adm. Brad Cooper assumed command of CENTCOM last August and is implementing a long-standing war plan against Iran. Cooper previously led the Navy's Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain, building extensive regional military ties.
  • Bipartisan lawmakers are pressing for answers on the war's exit strategy and the bombing of a girls' school on the conflict's first day. That attack reportedly killed 168 people, including dozens of girls.

  • Ultimately, Cooper's future depends on delivering results for the White House while maintaining the military campaign. He must keep operations on track until a political decision is made to end the conflict.
