Joe Rogan warns Trump may have undermined his anti-war message with Iran strikes

WASHINGTON, DC: Podcaster Joe Rogan on Wednesday, July 8, said President Donald Trump may have "f****d it up" with the renewed conflict in Iran after the US resumed military strikes following Tehran's attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military tension between the US and Iran has entered a fresh escalation, yet again with the American military acknowledging that it hit around 90 targets in airstrikes across Iran on Thursday night.

Joe Rogan questions Trump's Iran strike decision

Joe Rogan, one of President Trump's staunch conservative media supporters, believes that Trump might have f****d it up by striking Iran again as he abandoned his anti-war message.

“We might’ve f****d it up by going to Iran. I mean, this war is not something anybody that’s conservative wanted. Most people don’t want it, except supporters of Israel,” Rogan said on a Wednesday episode of his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'.

“They’re the only people that seem to be thinking it’s a good idea in this country. Most people are horrified by the idea because Trump was elected. One of the pillars that he stood for apparently was that he doesn’t want any more wars,” he added.

Rogan echoed similar concerns raised by conservative influencers like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson.

“There’s only a reason to go to war if it’s going to benefit you. And it was difficult to see what the benefit was. Although I think Iran is a sort of malevolent state, and it is spreading very bad philosophy,” British politician Rupert Lowe, who served as Rogan’s guest, said on the podcast.

“Obviously, you know you’ve got Hezbollah in Lebanon, and then we’ve got others causing a problem. So, I think …. they are a problem, but certainly from our point of view, I mean, you’re the only country with the ability to do anything about it,” Lowe added.

Trump says ceasefire with Iran is over

Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire effectively over on Wednesday as the United States launched another round of military strikes against Iran following recent attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The operation marked the second consecutive night of US strikes. Trump defended the military action on Truth Social, describing it as "in retribution for yesterday's bombing of ships by Iran."

He also warned Tehran that any future attacks would prompt an even stronger military response.
