About 65 per cent of MAGA voters want US to strike on Iran as President Donald Trump keeps his thoughts about this ambiguous, a poll revealed. 19 per cent opposed the idea, JL Partners, which conducted the survey with New York Post claimed. “This poll makes clear: the Republican base is not isolationist. They back forceful US and Israeli action to stop Iran, and see Israel’s fight as America’s fight,” James Johnson, co-founder of the New York-based JL Partners, said in a statement.The poll comes as MAGA is split between the choices with Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson, conservative commentators Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon advocating for maintaining a safe distance from the Middle East conflict. They are reminding the MAGA voters that Trump came to power promising that America would not fight war overseas.

What Trump said on reports that he approved strike on Iran

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump told his top aides that he approved a plan to strike Iran, but no final order was given. Trump dismissed the report and said the Wall Street Journal had no idea what his thoughts are about Iran. What Trump officially said about joining the war is that he may or he may not. Trump also called for Iran’s unconditional surrender, which Iran rejected. Pete Hegseth, Trump’s defence secretary, told a Senate committee that the Pentagon was prepared to execute any order given by Trump.Iran’s mission to the UN mocked Trump in posts on X, calling him a “has-been warmonger clinging to relevance” and adding that no Iranian official would “grovel at the gates of the White House”.
