Ann Coulter Warns of a GOP “Bloodbath” Tied to the Ongoing Iran Conflict

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, 64, told listeners on her podcast *Unsafe* that the Republican Party faces a “bloodbath” in the upcoming midterm elections because of President Donald Trump’s “ill-fated Iran war.” She argued that the war’s escalation will devastate GOP electoral prospects and drive up living costs, creating a political disaster for the party, Trump, Israel, and American Jews.

Coulter described the United States and Israel’s campaign against Iran as having “made Iran way stronger,” noting that Tehran can now threaten the Strait of Hormuz without possessing a nuclear weapon. The potential closure of this critical waterway, she said, has already pushed consumer prices higher. While she cited a Wall Street Journal report that Trump was briefed on the Strait-of-Hormuz risk and incorrectly predicted a quick resolution, the White House declined to comment when approached for a response.

Coulter highlighted Trump’s approval rating falling to a “record-low 32 percent,” a figure she linked to the war’s domestic repercussions. She also defended Vice President J.D. Vance, noting that a New York Times report identified him as one of the few senior officials who opposed the war from the start. Nonetheless, other conservative pundits—including Marc Thiessen and Brian Kilmeade—have publicly blamed Vance for failed negotiations with Tehran.
