Attendees at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas expressed mixed reactions to the United States and Israel's war with Iran, launched a month ago under the name 'Operation Epic Fury'. The conflict has exposed divisions within the conservative movement over the direction of foreign policy.

Some younger conservatives voiced frustration that President Donald Trump had broken his campaign promise of 'no new wars', arguing that the military action contradicts his earlier commitments. Others at the gathering strongly supported the president, praising what they described as his willingness and strength in confronting Iran.

The debate highlighted a broader tension among conservatives, with some prioritizing a restrained foreign policy and others backing a more forceful approach on the global stage.
