Donald Trump says Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have 'no impact' on his decisions after the conservative pair slammed his bombing of Iran . The President revealed he is not bothered by criticism of his military actions from the former Fox News anchors during an interview with The Inner Circle on Monday. 'I think that MAGA is Trump - MAGA’s not the other two,' Trump said of Kelly and Carlson, who have publicly questioned the rationale for war with Iran in recent days. 'MAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I’m doing - every aspect of it,' the President continued. 'This is a detour that we have to take in order to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe, frankly.'

Kelly has led criticism among conservatives over the war , saying that she believes the US was dragged into the conflict and that American soldiers are losing their lives 'for Iran or Israel .' Trump fired back that Kelly should 'study her history book a little bit.' 'Megyn was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me,' Trump said. 'And so, you know, some people are against - and they always come back. She came all the way back.' Kelly said on her SiriusXM show that she fears the US will become embroiled in yet another foreign war for years to come and questioned whether war with Iran is in America's interests.

'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,' she said. Trump brushed off Kelly's opposition in his phone interview on Monday, saying: 'I guess she maybe doesn’t like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians.' 'I have to do what’s right, number one -and you can’t have Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That’s predominant to me,' Trump explained. Carlson has been even stronger in his rhetoric against the war, telling ABC's Jon Karl that he believes Trump's strikes on Iran were 'absolutely disgusting and evil .'

He has reportedly visited the White House three times in the last month to lobby Trump against attacking Iran. But Trump said the commentator failed to sway him, and said in his interview this week: '[Carlson] can say whatever he wants, it has no impact on me.' It comes as the White House has struggled to contain criticism among Trump supporters and conservatives over the war, with many noting that Trump campaigned on bringing the US out of foreign conflicts. Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a MAGA darling, claimed that Trump had betrayed voters who supported him for his foreign policy platform during the election.

'Thousands and thousands of Americans from my generation have been killed and injured in never-ending, pointless foreign wars, and we said no more. But we are freeing the Iranian people. Please,' the former GOP lawmaker wrote on Saturday. 'There are 93 million people in Iran, let them liberate themselves. But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Yeah, sure.' Vice President JD Vance, previously a staunch anti-interventionalist, attempted to characterize the conflict as 'so different' from disastrous conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan over the weekend.

'The President has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and has to commit long-term to never trying to rebuild the nuclear capability,' Vance told Fox News's Jesse Watters Primetime. 'There’s just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multi-year conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective. I think that means that we’re not going to get into the problems that we’ve had with Iraq and Afghanistan.'
