Former President Donald Trump has stated he is open to authorizing military action targeting Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a paramilitary group the U.S. considers a terrorist organization. This affirmation comes as the United States and Iran are engaged in ongoing conflict through proxy groups.
The Revolutionary Guard has been among those leading Iran's response since the start of recent hostilities. Trump indicated he would be willing to “wipe out” the group, framing it similarly to the approach taken against ISIS. The Washington Examiner reported this as a notable admission given the resumption of consistent bombing campaigns in the region.
Time Magazine noted that since the start of the war, the Revolutionary Guard has been among those leading Iran’s response. No sources detailed specific plans or timelines for potential military action, nor did they specify what would trigger such a decision. The statements suggest a willingness to escalate current tensions with Iran through direct military force.
No right-leaning outlets reported on this story beyond the Washington Examiner. Left and lean-left coverage focuses on the implications of Trump’s statement for escalating conflict in the Middle East, while right-leaning coverage frames it as a strong stance against terrorism. Not in dispute is that Trump has publicly expressed openness to military action against the Revolutionary Guard.
