Peter Thiel privately says the U.S. should not have attacked Iran

Trump publicly defended the Iran war on October 22, saying many Americans support it and that previous presidents should have acted sooner. Peter Thiel privately took the opposite view, saying, “We should not have done it” and that significant mistakes were made. The break matters because Thiel is a major Republican donor who helped bankroll JD Vance’s political career, and he warned the United States could lose global influence.
