Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland spoke up through his posts on X about the bombings of nuclear sites in Iran by the US military . The initial reaction from the fighter was on the relationship shared between Israel and America, where he wrote - Israel "jump" Trump "how high." Strickland’s follow-up opinions were mostly mixed with claims of not being anti-Israeli, that he would still vote for Donald Trump , but also believes that both Israeli and American politics should be kept separate from each other. The fighter even took a dig at US Senator Ted Cruz’s comment supporting Israel.
Known for his sociopolitical comments, Sean Strickland once again strikes beyond his role in the Octagon as an informed citizen of the state. In his recent series of posts on X, the fighter wrote about the recent step taken by US President Donald Trump while siding with Israel against Iran. On Saturday evening, i.e., June 21, 2025, the President announced the successful obliteration of 3 major nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Reflecting on the act, a mixed reaction was received from countries across the world, with some supporting the extreme step and a section condemning it. Strickland makes himself heard with some mixed, unapologetic comments posted on X.
Sean claims that most of the American politicians have been bought by the Israeli government, which has indirectly affected the citizens of the state. Even though he would vote for Trump yet again, however, the intermixing of Israeli and American politics is not something that the former middleweight champion approves of.
While Israel feels strongly supported after the recent act by the US military, countries like New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Cuba, and Iran themselves have continued to forward the talks of de-escalation and believe that diplomacy would bring more good to the area than violence.

Sean Strickland issues his reasons for keeping the politics of Israel and America separateFollowing his dig at the political relationship shared between Israel and the USA, the fighter’s next statement highlights the time when the US was provided with information involving Iraq's supposed possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Strickland builds on his reasons why Israel should be kept out of American politics. He wrote, “Do you remember the first time our greatest ally said Iraq had WMDs? Knowingly lying to us to get us involved in a war. No Israel blood was spilt, no trillions of dollars of debt for their children. The debt that enslaves generations of Americans off a known lie.”Im not anti israel and id vote for Trump again...
