US President Donald Trump recently ordered military strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran. This decision immediately sparked a range of political reactions in the United States, revealing deep divisions within the political spectrum regarding how to respond to Tehran.
Notably, even among President’s MAGA voter base, some suggested the attacks ran counter to his ‘America First’ foreign policy.
Meanwhile, lawmakers from the Democratic party and some Republicans voiced the opinion that the President should have sought congressional approval before launching such attacks, according to NBC News.
The political backdrop in Washington is further complicated by mixed signals from the administration regarding the ultimate goal of regime change in Iran.
