Overview

• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene derided fellow MAGA Republicans on X as “fake” for urging U.S. involvement, insisting true America First supporters oppose further Middle East wars.
• President Trump has left U.S. participation open by saying “America First means whatever I decide it does” and later mocked Tucker Carlson’s warnings during a G7 press session.
• Former Fox host Tucker Carlson and strategist Steve Bannon have led an anti-intervention campaign within the movement, warning that active U.S. engagement risks derailing Trump’s presidency and global standing.
• Pro-war voices including Fox’s Mark Levin counter that Trump alone defines MAGA and that backing Israel’s preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aligns with national security priorities.
• As bilateral airstrikes continue to escalate, the U.S. has aided Israel in intercepting Iranian missile barrages.
