Popular journalist Tucker Carlson is now issuing a stark warning against any U.S. military strike on Iran, calling it “suicidal” and claiming “we’d lose the war that follows.”
“Whatever you think of tariffs, it’s clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran,” Carlson posted on X Monday.
“Thousands of Americans would die. We’d lose the war that follows.
“Nothing would be more destructive to our country. And yet we’re closer than ever, thanks to unrelenting pressure from neocons.
“This is suicidal. Anyone advocating for conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, but an enemy.”
Carlson’s comments come in the wake of heated rhetoric from the White House against Iran, which has been backing Houthi terror attacks against American ships in the Mideast, as well as ongoing military action against Israel.
President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House Monday, and said he would be talking with Iran on Saturday.
“If the talks aren’t successful with Iran, I think Iran’s gonna be in great danger,” Trump said. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That’s all there is.”
“If the talks aren’t successful, I actually think it’ll be a very bad day for Iran if that’s the case.”

“The Iran-backed Houthi Terrorists have been decimated by the relentless strikes over the past two weeks,” Trump said on Truth Social March 31.
“Many of their Fighters and Leaders are no longer with us. We hit them every day and night – Harder and harder. Their capabilities that threaten Shipping and the Region are rapidly being destroyed.
“Our attacks will continue until they are no longer a threat to Freedom of Navigation. The choice for the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at U.S. ships, and we will stop shooting at you.
“Otherwise, we have only just begun, and the real pain is yet to come, for both the Houthis and their sponsors in Iran.”

Also raising the flag about U.S. military action against Iran is Ron Paul, a former U.S. congressman and Republican presidential candidate.
“That didn’t take long,” Paul said on March 31.
“A candidate elected to end current wars and avoid new ones, Donald Trump as president has significantly escalated the war on Yemen and is now threatening to attack Iran.

He is also threatening Russia (again) with punitive tariffs.
