Blackwater founder Erik Prince on Iran:

I'm not happy about the whole thing. I don't think this was in America's interest.

It's going to uncork a significant can of worms and chaos and destruction in Iran. Who takes over?

You still have tens, hundreds of thousands of IRGC people that will be positioning for, to be number two, to be the next rulers of that country.

I don't see how this is in keeping with the President's MAGA commitment. I'm disappointed.
