Donald Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, whose privately voiced opposition to the Iran war mirrors his closeness to the late Charlie Kirk, who broke with the administration over the conflict.

The president's eldest son has stayed silent in public because, one person close to him said, he 'would never publicly break with his dad on an issue like this'. Vice President JD Vance, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also reportedly voiced early doubts. Pew Research Center polling found 65 percent of Americans disapprove of the handling of the war. Gas price rises continue to hit household budgets.

Trump Jr. had a close relationship with Charlie Kirk, who shared his opposition to the Iran war and maintained that stance until his death.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on Trump to bring the conflict to an end.

A White House official insisted Iran was 'decimated' and the war 'will be over very soon'.
