ALBAWABA - Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently took to his official account on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and warned US President Donald Trump about the complications of striking Iran including the possibility of setting off a war, causing the death of thousands of Americans.
The American political commentator and presenter wrote, "It’s worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars."
Tucker Carlson added, "The cost of future acts of terrorism on American soil may be even higher. Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America’s war. Don’t let the propagandists lie to you."

Several other users agreed with Carlson. One X user wrote, "Going to war with Iran is not America first. The last thing we need is another war."
Another added, "An attack on Iran would be an unprovoked act of war and not on behalf of the American people."
This all comes after Donald Trump threatened Iran with "dire" consequences on Monday, further blaming the country for having a hand in the ongoing Houthi attacks on US merchant vessels in the Red Sea, by providing the Yemeni military group with funds.
He also accused Iran of providing Houthis with weapons, and sophisticated military equipment, adding that "Every shot fired by the Houthis will be considered a shot fired from Iran's weapons and leadership."
Trump further criticized Iran for pretending to have an innocent image by denying its control over the Houthis.
