Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the war in Iran marked the end of the “unipolar world,” in which the United States dominated international relations. He also criticized Donald Trump’s recent remarks.
The comment came during “The Tucker Carlson Show” on Thursday (2). “This is the end of something. You are watching the end of the American global empire,” he declared.
He also said that the unipolar world, under U.S. leadership, was “great while it lasted.”
“The end of everything that was American Protestantism, one of the greatest and most positive forces in history, this world, whatever it became after World War II, something unrecognizable,” he lamented.
While discussing Donald Trump’s speech about the war in Iran, Tucker Carlson said what was happening was a “global shift in power.”
“So the three main headlines from the president’s speech last night, at least in the short term, are: no ground troops… we will leave in a few weeks, by the end of April… and there will be no regime change.”
“The nation that controls the world will be the one that opens the Strait of Hormuz… and it seems obvious at this point that the U.S. entered the conflict with the mistaken belief that it could reopen this strait by force,” Tucker Carlson analyzed.

On Easter Sunday, Donald Trump indicated he would attack Iranian uranium enrichment facilities and bridges on Tuesday (7). “Open the damn strait, you lunatics. In the name of Allah,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
