Auburn HC Bruce Pearl extends his support to POTUS Donald Trump on Israel-Iran war

Bruce Pearl is expressing his support for President Donald Trump amidst international conflict. The Auburn basketball coach shared his feelings on the President's response to the war between Israel and Iran.

On Thursday, Pearl shared an article about the conflict between Israel and Iran on X. The article, posted by Victor Davis Hanson of Daily Signal, discussed whether Israel dismantling Iran's defense will be enough to end the war. Hanson argued that if the war comes to an end with the Iranian regime still intact, everything will be for naught.

Pearl provided his point of view and expressed his support for President Trump.

"Israel Dismantles Iran’s Defenses, but Will It Be Enough asks Victor David Hanson. When this war concludes, Iran cannot posses a quickly recoverable nuclear weapons program or they will use it. I would support President Trumps decision to take out Fordow," Pearl wrote.

The Israel-Iran war and the possibility of the United States getting involved have caused significant controversy. Trump is reportedly contemplating attacking Iran but has not yet made a final decision. The President may call to destroy the Fordow enrichment plant. Regarding this, he said:

"We're the only ones that have the capability to do it. But that doesn't mean I'm going to do it - at all."
