President Donald Trump's decision to strike three nuclear sites in Iran could deepen a divide among some of the Republican's supporters, including high-profile backers who had said any such move would run counter to the anti-interventionism he promised to deliver.
Notably though, immediately following Trump's Saturday announcement of the strike, some of those who had publicly spoken out against U.S. involvement voiced their support.
The lead-up to the move against Iranian nuclear sites had exposed fissures within Trump's ''Make American Great Again'' base as some of that movement's most vocal leaders, with large followings of their own, expressed deep concern about the prospect of U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran war.
With the president barred from seeking a third term, what remains unknown is how long-lasting the schism could be for Trump and his current priorities, as well as the overall future of his ''America First'' movement.
Among the surrogates who spoke out against American involvement were former senior adviser Steve Bannon, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., commentator Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point. Part of their consternation was rooted in Trump's own vocalized antipathy for what he and others have termed the ''forever wars'' fomented in previous administrations.
As the possibility of military action neared, some of those voices tamped down their rhetoric. According to Trump, Carlson even called to ''apologize.''
Here's a look at what some of Trump's biggest advocates had said about U.S. military involvement in Iran:
