Steve Bannon, a long-time supporter of Donald Trump, accurately predicted that the former president would conduct a military strike on Iran over the weekend. Bannon is now cautioning that this action could potentially trigger World War III.
Bannon, who was Trump’s chief strategist during his initial term and remains a key figure in the MAGA movement, highlighted the impending military operation on his podcast, ‘War Room Pandemic,’ shortly before American forces executed the strike.
‘I’m just reporting what I’m hearing from pretty good sources. The party is on,’ Bannon said on his podcast.
“This weekend marks another significant development in the ongoing Third World War,” he remarked. “Anyone denying that we are in the midst of this global conflict clearly does not comprehend the dynamic nature and progression of military actions.”
Hours later, Trump surprised the world a little before 8 p.m. ET Saturday by announcing on Truth Social that he had given the go-ahead to attack Iran.
Trump used six massive 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs and 30 Tomahawk missiles to destroy Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
Trump addressed the nation, calling the strikes on a trio of Iranian nuclear sites a ‘spectacular military success.’
‘Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.’
He also gave a stark warning to Tehran that more attacks would be coming if the regime didn’t make peace.
But his ally Bannon lunched with Trump at the White House on Thursday, and reportedly argued against the U.S. joining in Israel’s attacks on Iran.
Bannon connected the dots on his ‘party is on’ comment, clarifying that it meant the operation was set to go.

‘I will tell you, remember in “A Bridge Too Far,” in the movie about Market Garden and the last bridge at Arnhem. The phrase there was, “The party is on,”‘ he said, referencing the 1977 film about the failed Allied operation in Europe near the end of World War II.
He also took a swipe at former first Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, now a host of ‘the Five’ on Fox News Channel.
‘And so that is our analysis this morning. Is the party on? Is this thing, are we inexorably drawn into this, and maybe today’s the day of action? You know, just the one swoop of a jet that Kayleigh McEnany wants, just one swoop of a jet, just going across,’ he said.
His comments came before a top House Republican turned on Trump and called the U.S. attack on Iran ‘unconstitutional.’
Bannon spent time on his Saturday show arguing about the risks and losses associated with an attack on Iran.
He said the country needed to remain ‘focused on the mass deportations’ of illegal immigrants.
‘There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,’ President Donald Trump said Saturday night, levelling new threats at Iran

‘I still argue that as important as this as high a priority it is to stop the nuclear program at whatever stage it is for the Iranians, for us yo’ve got to rank order of strategic concerns. The vital national security interests of this country lie with us making sure that the 10-12 million illegal alien invaders that came here … have to be deported,’ he said.
‘This is a central front of what we call the third World War.’
‘This is all costing a vast amount of money. Who’s paying for that?’ he asked. ‘Is Israel paying for that? No, they would not be … You know who’s paying for it? You,’ he told his listeners.
