President Donald Trump has defended his actions against conservative hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly who publicly criticized U.S. strikes on Iran. During a phone call with journalist Rachael Bade, Trump stated that MAGA fully supports him and that while Kelly had previously been critical of him, he still supports him. The comments came after Kelly expressed concerns about a potential war with Iran following Trump's announcement of major combat operations alongside Israel. A Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that striking Iran is not entirely popular among Americans, with only 27% of Americans approving of the initial attack, 43% disapproved, and 29% unsure.
