‘It was supposed to be America first’

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones voiced his opposition President Donald Trump’s airstrikes against IranSaying there was foreign intervention Moving away from “America first” It’s a message that resonates with him and other voters.

During the weekend, Jones has hosted many live broadcasts To discuss ongoing military operations that resulted in the deaths of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, and 48 other Iranian leaders. At least 787 people, including 176 children, died in air strikes on Iran. More than 100 of them are from this country Non-profit Human Rights Activists in Iran reported that there is a girls’ school in Minab.

“This will make the world angry against Israel and the USA.” Jones said deadly school missile attack. “Again, I don’t like the mullahs, but this needs to be America First. We don’t need to go around doing this anymore.”

In another live broadcastJones said Trump “broke” his promise to his supporters by attacking Iran and pushing for “regime change.”

“Trump continued not to make regime change,” Jones said. “I’m just saying, you don’t say ‘no more regime change,’ which we’ve seen the CIA do, and many times they knowingly put in worse people, and then you turn around and say ‘no, that’s a great thing’.”

Trump and members of his administration have made conflicting statements about the purpose of the Iran attacks. On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the airstrike campaign in Iran “is not a regime change war.” But Trump over the weekend he told ABC News The attack “disabled most of the candidates” of the Iranian regime.

Claiming that the USA has made a regime change, Trump said, “There will be no one we think of because they are all dead. The second or third row is dead.” The president also encouraged Iranians to use the opportunity to “take over” their government.

Officials claimed that the reason for the attack was to eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons facility, prevent the country from producing nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles, and destroy Iran’s navy to prevent the country from attacking neighboring countries.

Trump administration officials reportedly told congressional staff in private briefings on Sunday that U.S. intelligence had not suggested Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the United States. Administration officials have instead acknowledged a more general threat to the region from Iran’s missiles and proxies.

Jones also criticized Trump for posting AI-generated videos of the US bombing Iran on Truth Social to brag about the attacks. he calls it “unbecoming”.

Jones was once a staunch ally of Trump; He was promoting the president’s 2016 presidential campaign, peddling conspiracy theories against Democrats and raising money for Trump’s 2021 “Stop the Steal” rally, which turned into an attack on the Capitol.

Jones is the founder Information WarsA far-right conspiracy theory and fake news site. He peddled theories ranging from Pizzagate to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, leading to a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit verdict in which Jones was ordered to pay the victims’ families.

Since Trump returned to power last year, Jones has become more critical of the administration, speaking out against its handling of the Epstein files and the president’s desire to pursue more foreign interference. Other known MAGA allies, such as former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, have voiced similar criticism of the president sending the U.S. military to the Middle East.
