Peter Thiel breaks with Trump over Iran war, warns US may lack 'hard power'

Peter Thiel said at a private lecture in Nashville on October 12 that the US waging war on Iran was a mistake, citing numerous blunders, and that the US may lack the hard power needed to finish the war, and could also lose the soft power war. He also called the ICC arrest warrant threat a Sword of Damocles hanging over the Trump administration, while stating he would continue to support Trump, with the criticism aimed at neoconservatives and Middle East wars, not Trump himself.
