"Trump's next move is unknown. But some of the most prominent voices within his extended MAGA movement are pleading with the president not to drag the U.S. into another Middle Eastern war.

Tucker Carlson says Trump is complicit in the strikes and insists that this isn't America'sfight.

"While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump just bragged about on Truth Social, undeniably place the U.S. at the center of last night's events," Carlson wrote in his Friday newsletter to paid subscribers.

"Washington knew these attacks would happen," he added. "They aided Israel in carrying them out."

"It's worth taking a step back and wondering how any of this helps the United States," the newsletter reads. "We can't think of a single way."

Carlson continued, "If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America's backing."

Israel defied Trump. Trump now says he knew about the strikes all along.

The president wrote on Truth Social early Friday, "I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to just do it,' but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done." He went on:

"Certain Iranian hardliner's spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!" Trump said. "Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."

Trump's next move is unknown. ...

Yea, I'm multi-tasking this evening *trying to convince git to download the source code I want), so I missed that.

That aside, is the quote of the OpEd I cited incorrect?
