## Key points

- DeSantis criticised the Iran war after election results showed public opposition.
- The writer says his earlier record undermines his anti-war positioning.
- The article argues other Republicans may challenge him over that record.

## Summary

The opinion argues that Ron DeSantis’s recent criticism of the Iran war will not make him a viable Republican presidential nominee in 2028. It says his shift towards anti-war arguments came only after election results showed public opposition, while other potential candidates had opposed US support for Israel’s actions and further war for years.

The article cites DeSantis’s comments that Israel sought regime change in Iran, that imposing it would require resources Americans do not want to provide, and that administration officials gave conflicting reasons for the war. It contrasts these remarks with his 2023 trip to Jerusalem, where he signed Florida legislation addressing antisemitic harassment; his office described it as protecting both religious liberty and Israel. The writer argues that this record leaves DeSantis open to questions about where he stood when it mattered.
