Trump news at a glance: Generational divide over Iran war emerges at key conservative conference
AI Summary
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas, a generational divide emerged regarding potential military action in Iran. Younger conservatives expressed disappointment, viewing potential strikes as a betrayal of Donald Trump's anti-interventionist pledges. Older conservatives, however, defended the war as a pragmatic response to threats against the U.S., despite Trump's past criticisms of foreign regime change. The absence of President Trump, reportedly due to the Iran situation, fueled concerns among attendees about the direction of the movement, particularly regarding the possibility of a ground invasion. The conference occurred amidst escalating tensions, with Iran accusing the U.S. of planning a ground assault and U.S. lawmakers reacting to reports of Pentagon preparations for ground operations.
