Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume said President Donald Trump put himself in a “tough spot” with the Iran war.
The U.S. bombed Iran for the 10th consecutive night on Monday after Iran strikes on Jordan killed two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers over the weekend. Another U.S. soldier was killed in Iraq while disposing of an Iranian drone. At least 17 U.S. soldiers have been killed since Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the war in February.
The conflict has intensified this month after a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran fell apart, leading Iran to re-close the vital Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. to reimpose its blockade of Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Oman.
The war has been broadly unpopular since the beginning, as polls have consistently shown a clear majority of Americans oppose it.
Hume appeared on Monday’s Special Report on Fox News, where Bret Baier aired clips of Democrats criticizing Trump’s war. Baier asked how the war could impact Republicans in the midterm elections.
“What do you make of that criticism – politically – and how much weight it carries as we get closer to November?” Baier inquired.
Hume responded:
Well, I think it points to something that’s part of what the president is facing here, Bret. And that is that some of things that he might need to do to get the strait open, for example, and perhaps even to accomplish other ends in dealing with Tehran, may be militarily feasible, but politically they are very difficult. I mean, we’re seeing some casualties now. Now, in military terms, these are not large casualties, but nonetheless they are politically very important and very sensitive matters as they always have been.
And in today’s war, of course, the rule seems to be “No ground troops” because that is, of course, another source of casualties. So, I think the president’s in kind of a tough spot here in that sense. And he promised to keep us out of endless wars or unsatisfactory wars, and now he’s in one, and it’s not at all clear how it’s gonna end. So, he’s vulnerable on this point, and in political terms, he does need to get this over with. But what he may need his time, and he doesn’t have a lot of time.
