June 2025 may go down in history as the month America dodged another disaster—or walked straight into one. President Trump’s decision to hold off for “two weeks” on responding to escalating tensions between Iran and Israel came directly after his meeting with Steve Bannon. Coincidence? Hardly.
Bannon has taken to the WarRoom with a singular focus: No Intervention.
Quick Clip:
From the beginning of the most recent escalation, Bannon asked what many Americans were already thinking: “Why now? Why must America fight Israel’s battle when we haven’t even secured our own borders?” It’s not isolationism. It’s realism.
On social media, the MAGA base is locked in. They fear that foreign entanglement will steal the oxygen from the America First revival. It’s already happened before—with Iraq. “We are not going to let this be like the Iraq war,” Bannon has repeatedly warned.
And this isn’t paranoia. There’s real precedent.
Is the sudden call for war meant to obscure that scandal? Distract from Trump’s growing momentum? Undermine MAGA? As Bannon asksed from the beginning, “Why Are We Inexorably Drawn Into This?” Steve Bannon Compares Iran Conflict To Vietnam (Source: Bannon).
Even Fox News is playing its part in the war drum parade, pushing for airstrikes and military readiness, while ignoring the incredible success Trump is having with restoring order in cities like Los Angeles (source: Mike Davis).

Bannon’s warning is not just about war. It’s about mission creep, about how every foreign conflict slowly resets the American will. “This is spiritual,” he said during his June 18 appearance at Monitor Breakfast (source: Monitor).
This two-week pause may be a test. Will Trump hold the line and carry out the American people’s mandate? Or will the old hands in Washington pull him back into the cycle?
MAGA knows the answer they want. And they’re not backing down.
