One of Donald Trump’s key allies predicts there will not be a peaceful end to the Iran war and has warned that Americans could soon see images of U.S. ships being decimated if the administration puts boots on the ground.
Erik Prince, a Republican mega donor, former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, and founder of the private security firm Blackwater, said he counseled the administration “as loud as possible” not to get involved in the first place, knowing it would be deadly for troops, financially costly for the military, and politically challenging ahead of the midterms.
But now that the conflict appears set to escalate, Prince—who is described in MAGA circles as the “pre-eminent thinker on the military”—says he is “extremely concerned” about what might happen next. Speaking on a panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas on Friday night, Prince gave a grim forecast.
