Overview

• President Trump authorized bunker-busting airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground Fordow facility.
• Most MAGA figures rallied behind the action, describing it as a surgical strike to prevent a nuclear threat.
• Some movement leaders warned that any escalation or drawn-out conflict with Iran could erode support among skeptics.
• It remains unclear how severely the strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program, and Tehran is widely expected to retaliate.
• Former adviser Steve Bannon and others are urging the president to directly explain his rationale to maintain unity within the base.
