On an on‑camera Axios Show interview, Jamie Dimon defended the Iran war as overdue, citing decades of Iranian‑backed violence and proxy groups (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis) and alleging "terrorist cells" in the U.S., and he declined to name his biggest disappointment with President Trump, signaling reluctance to criticize him directly. He blamed "the government" for years of inaction on Jeffrey Epstein despite JPMorgan’s $290 million 2023 settlement over Epstein ties, reiterated he will not run for president and plans to stay on as executive chairman after stepping down as CEO, and said he’s interested in starting a policy‑oriented media company.
