Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist and host of the popular show War Room, spoke to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast on Wednesday at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, D.C. acknowledged that if the President Donald Trump made a solid case for the U.S. striking Iran or escalating the situation, the MAGA movement would eventually get on board. “If the president as commander-in-chief makes a decision to do this and comes forward and walks people through it…the MAGA movement will support President Trump,” Bannon said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday confirmed to a Senate panel that the United States military is prepared to carry out President Donald Trump's decisions when it comes to Iran, but that right now he is advising the president on the various options.  Trump told reporters at the White House that he is still deciding how to handle the Israel-Iran conflict, but maintained that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
