US President Donald Trump<\/a> escalated his feud with his one-time vocal ally Tucker Carlson<\/a>, telling reporters on Monday that no one is paying attention to the former Fox News host or his concerns about Israel\u2019s military action in Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen,\u201d the president said after Carlson, a highly watched Fox News personality until his 2023 firing, accused Trump of being \u201ccomplicit\u201d in Israel\u2019s attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Carlson raised his concerns<\/a> in a Friday newsletter, lashing out at Trump after Israel launched attacks that killed hundreds of Iranians on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhile 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 US at the center of last night\u2019s events,\u201d Carlson wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey aided Israel in carrying them out. Politicians purporting to be America First can\u2019t now credibly turn around and say they had nothing to do with it. Our country is in deep,\u201d his newsletter continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump responded on Saturday in an Atlantic interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWell, considering that I\u2019m the one that developed \u2018America First,\u2019 and considering that the term wasn\u2019t used until I came along, I think I\u2019m the one that decides that,\u201d Trump said, adding: \u201cFor those people who say they want peace\u2014you can\u2019t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don\u2019t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon\u2014that\u2019s not peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Carlson remained firm in his stance during an appearance<\/a> on Steve Bannon\u2019s podcast on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to convince me that the Iranian people are my enemy,\u201d he said to Bannon, who served as one of Trump\u2019s chief strategists during his first term in the White House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The US is \u201con the cusp of entering a war on behalf of a political leader in a faraway country that\u2019s going to really hurt my country,\u201d Carlson continued, adding: \u201cI just don\u2019t want my country to be further weakened or destroyed by another one of these wars.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
