A week of U.S. military strikes in Iran has sparked backlash, with critics accusing Trump of breaking his "America First" promise.

A week of escalating U.S. military action in Iran has sparked growing backlash, including from within former President Trump’s base, as critics accuse him of violating his "America First" pledge. Despite widespread public disapproval and concerns over the war’s cost and duration, Trump has remained defiant, rejecting criticism and promoting a vision of strengthening Iran economically—contradicting official policy. Questions about his leadership, past controversies, and lack of clear justification for the conflict have intensified scrutiny, while the administration defends its actions and claims continued economic success.
