Overview

• President Trump returned early from the G7 summit for a Situation Room briefing and declared “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” as he weighs U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites following Israeli attacks.
• U.S. forces have shifted to a defensive posture by intercepting Iranian missiles aimed at Israel while warning Tehran against targeting American troops or civilians.
• Isolationist MAGA figures including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have publicly opposed any U.S. military action, arguing it contradicts America First principles.
• Foreign policy hawks such as Senators Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and John Fetterman and former adviser John Bolton are pressing Trump to expand support and consider regime change, joined by pro-Israel Democrats.
• Progressive Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have partnered with populist conservatives on resolutions to restrict presidential war powers and block unauthorized intervention.
