In a fiery Monday segment on The View, co-host Joy Behar stunned audiences by criticizing former President Donald Trump — not just for authorizing strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, but for failing to warn Iran beforehand.
Yes, you read that right.
Behar, never one to mince words when it comes to Trump, appeared more outraged that the Iranian regime wasn’t given a courtesy call than by the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Tehran.
“He was going to give diplomatic negotiations more time to play out,” Behar lamented. “And then less than 48 hours later, this attack was underway. So what changed?”
Behar referenced Trump’s initial two-week window for making a decision, arguing that it was cut dramatically short — as if national security should operate on a set calendar. But ABC’s own chief Washington correspondent, Jonathan Karl, wasn’t buying the narrative.
“The two weeks measure was clearly a little bit of a head fake,” Karl responded. “All indications are he didn’t actually make the decision to so-called pull the trigger until Saturday … and then the attack commenced.”
Karl suggested that Trump had hoped for a last-minute diplomatic breakthrough — a “Kim Jong Un moment” — where Iran’s Supreme Leader would come to the negotiating table. But when that didn’t happen, the President acted.
And here’s the kicker: Behar wasn’t just upset about the speed of the decision — she was baffled as to why Trump didn’t alert Iran in advance of a military strike.
“If diplomacy was still on the table, why not let Iran know what was coming? Why escalate like this?” she questioned.
Critics were quick to pounce on Behar’s comments, calling them “absurd,” “dangerously naive,” and “a masterclass in Monday morning quarterbacking.”
Social media erupted, with one user asking:
“Does Joy Behar think wars are scheduled like dinner parties?”
In the real world, military strategy rarely comes with invitations or RSVP cards — especially when nuclear threats are involved. Trump’s decision may be controversial, but the idea that the Commander-in-Chief should warn the target beforehand? That’s turning national defense into late-night comedy.
As tensions in the Middle East escalate, one thing’s clear: The View might not be the best place to get your foreign policy briefings.
