While the people of Iran, or a great many of them, are overjoyed to see the Islamic Republic on its uppers, and wait expectantly for still more attacks by the Americans and Israelis in the next few weeks, sufficient to bring about the collapse of the regime, there are those outside Iran who are hysterically opposed to Operation Epic Fury (and Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion).
Here are three of them:
#1. Dmitry Medvedev: American Attack On Iran Will Cause World War III
Putin’s lapdog, Dmitri Medvedev, has denounced the Americans for making war on Iran. His full remarks can be found here: “World War III will begin if US continues to pursue ‘insane’ regime change: Russia’s Medvedev,” TRT World, March 3, 2026:
World War III will break out if US President Donald Trump “continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes,” the deputy chairman of Russia’s powerful Security Council said on Monday.
Speaking in an interview with the Russian state news agency Tass, Dmitry Medvedev described Washington’s actions as “a war by the US and its allies to preserve global dominance.”
“If Trump continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, it will undoubtedly begin. And any event could be the trigger. Any event,” he warned.
My goodness. Medvedev hysterically denounces Trump’s “insane course of criminally changing political regimes” that, he claims, will cause “World War III.” The only place World War III might start is in Eastern Europe, if the criminal regime of Putin tries not just to seize all of Ukraine, but to move its troops even further west into countries that belong to NATO. Trump is making the world safer by preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Its nuclear scientists were racing to enrich the store of uranium beyond an achieved purity of 60% to a weapons-grade level of 90%. Had they done so, and the Israelis were convinced that they very close to doing so, within a week, Iran could have had enough uranium for eleven nuclear weapons. What does Medvedev think that Iran, if it had such weapons, would do with them? They have already threatened to destroy Israel; it’s their dearest wish. They have also in recent days threatened to hit Europe with ballistic missiles. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has just gone on state television to threaten its Arab neighbors with the “complete destruction of the region’s military and economic infrastructure.” Why would such a regime as rabid as the one in Tehran hesitate to use nuclear weapons to wipe out Israel, to destroy Infidels in Europe, and eventually, to target the U.S. itself?
#2. Tucker Carlson: Attack On Iran “Absolutely Disgusting and Evil”
The frothing antisemite Tucker Carlson was sent into a rage by Trump’s decision to strike Iran. He was particularly incensed that the American forces were collaborating with Israeli forces, for he has a fit whenever Israel is mentioned. Much of his criticism has centered on Israel’s influence on Trump’s decision to go to war. More on Carlson’s reaction can be found here: “Cracks appear in Trump’s MAGA base as leading figures criticize the Iran conflict,” THV11, March 4, 2026:
For President Donald Trump, some of the sharpest criticism he’s faced in the early days of the Iran conflict has come from once-loyal media figures far more accustomed to singing his praises.
Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh are among those to express discontent. It’s been noticed in the White House, which has been playing defense on social media and in interviews.
To be sure, these critics are the minority of the media MAGAsphere, where Fox News’ biggest stars remain cheerleaders. But their words illustrate conservative media’s influence and how valuable it is to Trump when all runs as a well-oiled machine — and, by contrast, how much of a problem it can be if it fractures.
Much of the criticism has centered on Israel’s influence on Trump’s decision to attack Iran. Carlson, the former Fox News star who has built his own independent operation, told ABC News over the weekend that the attack was “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
“It’s hard to say this, but the United States didn’t make the decision here. Benjamin Netanyahu did,” Carlson said on his podcast, referring to the Israeli prime minister….
#3. Zohran Mamdani: “An Illegal War Of Aggression”
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
The full statement that Mamdani put out on the Iran war can be found here.
The “illegal war of aggression” is not that being waged by the Americans and the Israelis. It is, rather, that which the Islamic Republic has carried on against Israel and the U.S., using its terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And now Iran is firing at targets, many of them civilian, in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Jordan, before any of them fired a single shot at Iran.
As for Mamdani’s “reassurance” to Iranian New Yorkers, Mamdani apparently does not know that those Iranian-Americans in New York, just like the half-million Iranian-Americans across the country, are overjoyed at what the Americans and Israelis have done for them in weakening militarily the monstrous regime that has made Iranians miserable for the past 47 years.
