US cannot afford war with Iran and will lose, Tucker Carlson says

Influential conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said on Monday that the United States could not afford a war with Iran which it would lose.

"Whatever you think of tariffs, it’s clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran. We can’t afford it. Thousands of Americans would die," the former Fox News host wrote on X.

"We’d lose the war that follows. Nothing would be more destructive to our country. And yet we’re closer than ever, thanks to unrelenting pressure from neocons. This is suicidal. Anyone advocating for conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, but an enemy."
