Overview

• Trump announced a “complete and total” ceasefire after 12 days of hostilities and Carlson responded on social media with a two-word post: “Thank God.”
• Carlson’s post marked his first public comment in days after warning against deeper US involvement in Israel’s conflict with Iran.
• Hawkish conservatives Mark Levin and Ted Cruz condemned the ceasefire, advocating continued pressure and regime change in Iran.
• Israeli and Iranian officials have each reportedly violated the ceasefire hours after it took effect, raising doubts about its durability.
• The ceasefire debate has exposed a sharp split within the MAGA movement between Carlson’s non-interventionist stance and the interventionist hawks.
