Steve Bannon, a prominent voice in conservative media and former chief strategist under Donald Trump, has sparked controversy by drawing parallels between Trump and Hillary Clinton.

In a recent segment on his show, "War Room," Bannon openly criticized Trump's approach towards the ongoing civil unrest in Iran.

Trump had made headlines for his bold statement on Truth Social, warning that the United States was "locked and loaded" to intervene if the Iranian regime violently suppressed peaceful protests.

Bannon expressed his disapproval, suggesting that Trump's rhetoric echoed that of Samantha Powers and Hillary Clinton's interventionist foreign policy, which has often been viewed unfavorably by conservative circles.

Instead of military action, Bannon advocated for a more hands-off approach, urging Trump to enforce existing sanctions and allow the Iranian people to lead their own fight against the current regime.

He emphasized that historically, the Iranian people have successfully overthrown oppressive governments when left to their own devices, referencing the overthrow of the Shah in 1979.

Bannon's comments highlight a growing divide among conservatives regarding the best strategy for U.S. foreign policy, especially concerning the volatile situation in Iran.

While some leaders advocate for direct intervention, others, like Bannon, caution that such actions could exacerbate the situation and bolster anti-American sentiments among the Iranian public.

As debates within conservative circles continue, Bannon's insights serve as a reminder of the complex and often contentious nature of international relations, particularly under a new Republican administration.

Only time will reveal how Trump navigates these challenges and whether his policies align with the more isolationist views championed by some within the party.
