Donald Trump Jr. has privately opposed President Trump's war with Iran since it began and has taken his objections directly to his father, according to ZeroHedge, which cites reporting from The Atlantic. Two anonymous sources who reportedly spoke with Trump Jr. say he has questioned the military campaign several times over the nearly eight months it has gone on. He has not criticized his father in public.

The position matches his long-standing opposition to U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts. Trump Jr. has often described his father as a leader who would keep the country out of costly wars, especially in the Middle East. "Don has kept his views on the subject private, as he would never publicly break with his dad on an issue like this," a person described as close to him told The Atlantic. A spokesperson for Trump Jr. declined to comment on the report.

The report also points to wider divisions in the MAGA movement, where some prominent conservatives have questioned whether the war is consistent with the president's campaign promises. The conflict has become a growing political challenge for Republicans ahead of November's midterm elections. Gas prices are rising, and a Pew Research Center poll found that 65% of Americans disapprove of the administration's handling of the war.
