Steve Bannon, the former White House adviser to President Donald Trump, said the Iran war may just be beginning.
The ultraconservative figure told attendees March 27 at the right-leaning Conservative Political Action Conference in Grapevine, Texas outside of Dallas the "decision in going forward is obviously" at the discretion of Trump but told attendees that "people got to have his back."
"You have to be convinced that this is the right thing to do, particularly now that we’re on the eve of potentially the insertion of American combat troops," Bannon said. "Your sons, daughters, granddaughters, grandsons could be on Kharg Island or be holding a beachhead down by the Strait of Hormuz."
When will the Iran war end? Not soon enough, some Americans say
Kharg Island is Iran's primary hub for oil exports and was targeted once previously by U.S. military strikes. The Iran war has fractured parts of Trump's Make America Great Again movement.
