Author and activist Marianne Williamson criticized President Donald Trump for launching the U.S. military campaign against Iran based on advice from political allies rather than top military experts.

Williamson highlighted that Trump purged the armed forces last year, removing some of the nation’s most experienced commanders, and then made major war decisions without the kind of expert consultation typically relied upon for actions of such magnitude.

Her remarks underscore concerns about the administration’s approach to foreign policy and national security, raising alarms over global risks, strategic missteps, and the consequences of sidelining seasoned military leadership.
