"Does it make any sense to you that Iran was planning preemptive strikes against us and our civilians, knowing full well of the massive military assets we had moved into the region, the aircraft carriers and so on? Obviously, it doesn't, Kelly concluded, while saying she would never repeat such a claim like Jennings did because she would not allow them to use me like a fool."
"First and foremost, I, Megyn Kelly, am praying for the troops. That's where my mind immediately went. The guys in the and the gals who have to actually carry out this mission why again? And put their lives on the line for whom, again? [Those] are the ones who are on my mind, and I prayed for them mightily yesterday and the day before."
"But my own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country. I don't think those four service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel. I understand how this helps Iran perfectly well. I get it. I mean, I hope, long term, we'll see."
Megyn Kelly challenged the Trump administration's justification for military action against Iran, arguing the claim of Iranian preemptive strikes lacks credibility given the substantial U.S. military presence in the region. She criticized CNN's Scott Jennings for repeating administration talking points without questioning their validity. Kelly expressed concern for the four U.S. service members killed in the operation, questioning the purpose of their sacrifice. She stated her belief that the deaths serve Iranian or Israeli interests rather than American interests, and expressed opposition to U.S. military personnel dying for foreign nations. Kelly acknowledged significant public divisions over the military action.
