Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are all trading blows over US involvement – while Sean Hannity says he’s staying out of it

The stars of the conservative media movement have been duking it out – in extremely personal terms – over Donald Trump’s decision to enter the United States into a conflict with Iran.

While it can be hard to cleanly group the warring factions, much of the fighting has centered on disagreements about whether the US is too deferential to Israeli interests. Those arguing that position most prominently include former Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, while conservative media personalities like Mark Levin (a current Fox News host) and Ben Shapiro have strongly supported both the American intervention in Iran and collaboration with Israel.

Reform UK leader told a ‘Save Chagos Boat Party’ yesterday he would be raising the issue in his meeting with the president

• Middle East crisis – live updates

Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch this morning reinforced that she would support Royal Air Force jets striking Iranian missile launch sites.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, she said:

That is the right thing to do. Otherwise, we are allowing our service personnel to be put in danger. We have to think about them.

If this was a nuclear attack, God forbid, it would be too late.

You can’t always wait for people to attack you. Sometimes you have to make sure that you get there first to stop their ability to hurt your citizens.

We are in this war whether we like it or not because we have put bases in other people’s countries and we need to protect them.

And what I’m worried about is that our government looks afraid to do anything and just wants to sort of make it go away, and we need to be stronger than that.
