Former White House adviser Steve Bannon on Friday slammed President Trump’s threat to intervene if Iran cracks down on anti-government protests as something resembling threats made by former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton.

“Aren’t people teasing right now that [former United Nations Ambassador] Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton must somehow have gotten invited to the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve celebration because the president coming out today saying, ‘Hey, we’re locked and loaded,’ isn’t that straight from the Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton playbook?” Bannon said on his podcast “War Room” with CDM Editor-in-Chief Todd Wood.

Power served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017 and then served as the administrator for the United States Agency for International Development from 2021 to 2025.

Bannon also said the Trump administration should continue to enforce sanctions on Iran and “let the mullahs try to run the economy as they’re running it because they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“The economy will crash, and the Persian people will overthrow these guys just like they overthrew the shah,” Bannon told Wood.
