The prospect of U.S. involvement in an increasingly volatile conflict between Israel and Iran has cleaved clear divisions within the MAGA movement – a rarity over the course of President Trump’s decade-long political career.

Top Trump allies have pleaded their case in recent weeks directly to the president and on social media for why the U.S. should fully avoid engaging in any dispute between Iran and Israel. On another side, other Trump allies are arguing it is in the president’s interest to take a more aggressive posture toward Iran.

Some have suggested the schism could fracture the president’s coalition. Sources who spoke with The Hill downplayed that notion, arguing Trump is the ultimate arbiter of what constitutes “America first.”

Here is who falls into each camp.

Advocating for non-intervention

A vocal group of influential MAGA voices have been banging the drum in recent days to argue against any kind of U.S involvement in a conflict with Iran.

Those figures have made the case that targeting Iran would contradict Trump’s “America First” foreign policy rhetoric and would echo the mistakes of the George W. Bush administration, which Trump has sharply criticized.

“This is exactly the same pitch as the Iraq war,” former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon said on Tucker Carlson’s show on X.

Carlson has also been an outspoken opponent of U.S. involvement in the Middle East, going as far as to call out by name individuals he claimed were “warmongers” in the president’s ear.

The former Fox News host voiced frustrations after Israel late last week launched missile strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities and killed multiple top Iranian military officials. Carlson wrote that Trump was “complicit in the act of war” and said what occurs next in the region “will define Donald Trump’s presidency.”

Those comments did not sit well with Trump, who derided Carlson as “kooky” in a social media post.

Coming to Carlson’s defense was a typically staunch Trump ally: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She posted on X that Carlson’s opposition to foreign wars did not make him “kooky.”

“Americans want cheap gas, groceries, bills, and housing. They want affordable insurance, safe communities, and good education for their children. They want a government that works on these issues,” Greene posted on Tuesday.

“Considering Americans pay for the entire government and government salaries with their hard earned tax dollars, this is where our focus should be,” Greene added. “Not going into another foreign war.”
