On Saturday, Tucker Carlson condemned President Donald Trump for backing U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, with ABC News channel’s Jonathan Karl saying Carlson called the action “Absolutely disgusting and evil.”

The backlash landed as oil supply fears spread across markets, after Trump framed the campaign as preemptive military steps meant to block Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Karl contacted Carlson for a reaction to Trump’s decision, and then shared a video of his account on X. The report also noted Carlson had visited the White House the prior week, a move described as an attempt to preserve his pull with the president.

Carlson’s blunt condemnation, delivered after a White House visit aimed at keeping influence, put that internal political divide in stark relief as markets tracked the risk of further escalation.
