The Proud Boys say they will withdraw support from Donald Trump if he launches full-scale military action against Iran. Tensions rise as U.S. airstrikes and Iran nuclear fears escalate during Trump’s second term.
Proud Boys Threaten to Turn on Trump Over Iran War Plans
“America First” Group Says Foreign Conflict Crosses the Line
In a surprising turn, the far-right group known as the Proud Boys has publicly warned former President Donald Trump that it may withdraw its support if he launches a major war against Iran.
Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, and following recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure, the group issued a statement saying that Trump’s actions are “a betrayal of the America First promise.”
“If Trump drags us into another endless war, we’re done,” a senior member of the group stated on an encrypted chat. “This isn’t what we supported him for.”
Background: Trump and Iran Tensions Rise Again
The U.S. recently launched targeted strikes against suspected nuclear sites in Iran, claiming national security threats. Though the Trump administration described it as “limited action,” global leaders are warning of a broader regional conflict.
Iran has already responded with retaliatory missile strikes, further raising fears of a prolonged Middle East war.
Enrique Tarrio and Proud Boys Divide
Though Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio remains imprisoned on charges tied to the January 6 Capitol riot, supporters remain politically active online. Several posts circulating in Proud Boys forums express disillusionment with Trump’s foreign policy, especially regarding military aggression in the Middle East.
Many of them argue that “America First” means avoiding foreign wars, not starting new ones.
Will Trump Lose His Base?
Trump has long relied on support from ultra-conservative groups like the Proud Boys. But this warning shows cracks in his base, especially as he navigates a complicated second term that includes:
-
Record inflation and gas prices
-
A volatile foreign policy stage
-
Fallout from controversial executive actions
Political analysts say this growing rift could hurt Trump’s image as a populist leader—especially if anti-war sentiments among his supporters grow louder.
What This Means for 2028 and Beyond
This situation adds fuel to the fire for 2028 election speculations. If Trump continues escalating tensions in the Middle East, he could alienate not just fringe groups—but also independent voters and conservative isolationists.
The Proud Boys may be a controversial group, but their shift in loyalty highlights deeper divisions within Trump’s base that could reshape the future of right-wing politics in America.
