Trump’s Iran Airstrikes Spark Global Tensions and Domestic Fallout

President Donald Trump’s recent airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—have triggered strong international and domestic responses. Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success,” aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised the strikes as a show of strength. However, leaders from the UN, UK, and China warned the move could dangerously escalate tensions in the already volatile Middle East.

Iran condemned the strikes as illegal under international law and vowed severe retaliation. The incident has heightened fears of broader conflict in the region.

Domestically, Trump’s decision has rattled even his staunchest supporters. The far-right Proud Boys, once vocal allies, criticized the strikes as a betrayal of his “America First” promise.

On their Telegram channel, the group warned they might withdraw support if U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts deepens. They called on Trump to prioritize domestic issues like the national debt and economic instability.

Their criticism is significant, given their history of loyalty and Trump’s past pardon of former leader Enrique Tarrio.

This backlash highlights growing fractures within Trump’s political base. As global tensions rise, he now faces pressure not only from world leaders but from key factions within his movement.

This moment could prove a pivotal test of his leadership, with lasting implications for U.S. foreign policy and right-wing alliances.
