Megyn Kelly mocked President Donald Trump after he denied being influenced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the decision to launch strikes on Iran. Trump said the war stemmed from his long held belief that Iran should never possess a nuclear weapon, though he also cited the October 7 attack on Israel as a factor. Kelly responded on social media by sharing his statement alongside a popular 'Sure, Jan' meme, implying disbelief.

The meme references a fictional character known for telling an obvious lie, and Kelly’s post signaled her skepticism toward Trump's explanation. Once a strong supporter of the president, she has increasingly criticized his handling of the conflict with Iran.

Meanwhile, the administration is pursuing renewed diplomatic efforts as a fragile ceasefire nears expiration. Senior officials have traveled to Islamabad for another round of peace talks, even as Trump has threatened further strikes if Iran refuses to reach an agreement.

Tensions remain high, with Iran accusing the United States of violating the truce through port blockades and ship seizures. Tehran has issued warnings of retaliation, while global leaders have urged stability in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for oil shipments.
