Steve Bannon on Monday expressed his disapproval over the possibility that the US would push for an Iranian change of administration — President Donald Trump came to light over the weekend — reiterating his desire to prioritize “America First” and move away from foreign conflicts.
Bannon, a longtime Trump alliance and a leading figure in the Maga movement, praised Trump for his strike at Iran’s nuclear facility on an episode of his podcast, “Bannon’s War Room.” However, he questioned the “story of a change of government,” and urged Israel to “finish what you started” hours after the strike, hours after the strike.
Trump has shown he will be open to seeing an Iranian regime change on social media Sunday evening, contradicting several senior managers who have argued that the regime change is not a goal.
“It is not politically correct to use the term “change of government,” but if the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran great again, why is there no change of government??? Miga!!!” I wrote about the true society on sunday.
The conflict in Iran opened up a rift with the GOP between interventions like Senator Lindsey Graham (Rs.C.) and interventions like Bannon who opposes the US entering open-ended conflicts in the Middle East.
Bannon congratulated Trump on the “precision, logistics, courage, courage, boldness and boldness” of Iran’s strike, but warned that there was no clear definition as to whether the strike was successful.
“Now, ‘Hey, I don’t know where the materials are,” Bannon said of Iran’s rich uranium stockpile. “What leads to us?” Ah, it’s coming. ”
Trump has repeatedly called the strike a “very successful,” but Pentagon officials on Sunday said it was too early to know if Iran is still maintaining nuclear capabilities and whether it is still maintaining Iran’s wealth. Uranium stockpile It remains unknown that it was destroyed.
Bannon expressed concern that the Iranian strike is a “Psy-op” and that the Trump administration’s goal to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is “cosplay,” which could lead to further involvement in Israel and Iran’s war.
“Is this because the ultimate goal is a change of government? Even if it works, the Israelis have it,” he said. “If a change of administration is required, then you’re looking for that, baby. There’s no participation by the US government.”
Bannon said he was “disappointed” with the Pentagon leadership after losing the opportunity to “drill the story” around the strike by not presenting his initial damage rating on Sunday after the attack.
“We had to see the grainy photos,” he said. “I understand that you don’t have a combat damage rating, like you said. It takes three or four weeks, but it can be enough to drive and drive the story. We’ve lost that opportunity.”
