Tucker Carlson Clashes with Trump Over Iran Strikes in MAGA Power Struggle

Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Piers Morgan for a fiery interview, firing back at Senator Ted Cruz for calling him America's most dangerous demagogue over his fierce opposition to the ongoing Iran war. Piers Morgan Uncensored reports Carlson visited President Trump three times in five weeks at the Oval Office, urging him against the strikes, which he described as absolutely disgusting and evil, warning they hand the Middle East to China and betray MAGA's America First roots. Trump shot back publicly, claiming Carlson has lost his way and isn't true MAGA, a rift that's left many in the base heartbroken and depressed, with Polymarket odds shifting wildly on 2028 Republican nominees amid speculation Carlson could run himself. The clash has supercharged the MAGA war, pitting Carlson against pro-Israel hawks like Ben Shapiro, who attacked him alongside Piers Morgan and Megyn Kelly for criticizing Israel. Carlson dismissed claims he hates Christian Zionists, emphasizing free speech and predicting the war could doom Republicans in November midterms, potentially losing the House and Senate and rendering Trump a lame duck. MEXC News highlights how this feud echoes past tensions, like Carlson's push on Epstein files and last year's Iran strikes, positioning him as a potential true heir to a disillusioned MAGA movement. In another notable appearance, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Carlson that Israel has a biblical right to control all of West Asia, saying it would be fine if they took it all, as covered by the Massachusetts Review. This fuels broader debates on Carlson's influence, with a new book Hated By All the Right People by Jason Zengerle tracing his evolution into the right-wing's top ideologue, crediting him with shaping Trump policies on immigration, Ukraine skepticism, and Orban admiration, though critics decry his drift toward antisemitic tropes. No major legal or professional updates emerged, but his independent network thrives amid these battles, amplifying his voice as Republicans fracture.
