Megyn Kelly has slammed Donald Trump for bombing Iran, claiming fallen troops did not lose their lives for the U.S, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The political commentator believes the Commander-in-Chief did not appear to have a clear objective before kickstarting attacks on the country.
Why Is Megyn Kelly Against The Attacks On Iran?
Kelly believes U.S. troops should not be dying for foreign countries.
She said: "The guys in the and the gals who have to actually carry out this mission... why again? And put their lives on the line … for whom, again?"
Kelly acknowledged that early polling on Operation Epic Fury has been divisive, and she's leaning against the attacks.
The 55-year-old added, "My own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country. I don't think those four service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel."
'Our Government's Job Is To Look Out For Us'
Kelly questioned America's involvement, saying 'this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel's war.'
Her comments came before Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted the preemptive strikes against Iran were after learning Israel was about to attack, and American troops in the region faced an imminent threat of retaliation
Kelly said the war belongs to conservative influencers and donors, ranging from Fox host Mark Levin to Ben Shapiro to Senator Lindsey Graham.
She explained: "Our government's job is not to look out for Iran or for Israel. It's to look out for us. And this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel's war."
Kelly tried to put herself into Trump's frame of mind for taking this action against the Iranian regime.
"I do believe Trump doesn't want to get us into another Forever War, and I believe he wouldn't willingly submit to (a)quagmire… In his mind, he thinks he can do this."
Why Does Megyn Kelly Believe Trump's Family Is Now At Risk?
Kelly claims Trump taking out Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei puts his family at risk.
She described the president as being "all over the board" in terms of how long the battle will last, with Trump suggesting four weeks but having said he's willing to go longer.
Kelly added, "Regime change wars and taking out another country's leader is full of danger too. I pray for the Trump family. I don't want anything to happen to them, and we increase the risk of that with this behavior."
Radar recently told how Trump previously admitted he's "left instructions" if he were assassinated, insisting Iran would be obliterated.
The resurfaced 2025 remarks about his possible assassination come fresh on the heels of the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

Trump previously said he left instructions for Iran to be 'obliterated' if he was ever assassinated.
When asked about threats of his being killed, Trump claimed it would be a "terrible thing for them to do."
The 79-year-old continued addressing the situation, noting he wasn't saying it would be terrible "because of him."
"If they did that, they would be obliterated," he continued. "That would be the end. I've left instructions. If they do it, they get obliterated. There won’t be anything left."
After insisting they "shouldn't be able to do it," Trump then got a dig in at his predecessor, Joe Biden.
"And Biden should've said that, but he never did," he stated. "I don't know why. Lack of intelligence, perhaps. But he never said it."
