Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones finally turns on Trump for Iran war: ‘It was supposed to be America first’

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has voiced opposition to President Donald Trump’s airstrikes against Iran, saying foreign intervention was straying away from the “America First” message that resonated with him and other voters.

Over the weekend, Jones hosted several livestreams to discuss the ongoing military operations that have killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and 48 other Iranian leaders. The strikes on Iran have killed at least 787 people including 176 children – more than 100 of whom are from a girls’ school in Minab, the non-profit Human Rights Activists in Iran reported.
