Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed the White House is 'discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran' in a post on her X account on Sunday, labelling the plan as 'pure evil'.
She wrote: "They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil."
Greene's criticism of Trump
Greene, a former Trump ally who now regularly critiques the US president, also referenced the 1945 nuclear bombing in Japan, which led to a total of 214,000 deaths.
She added: "Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, 'Iran is only weeks away.' So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it."
Trump's stance on Iran
Her attack comes after Trump claimed at an event in Long Island on Friday that Iran had been "very badly defeated". The US President also posted on Truth Social last week: "Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished. Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades."
Trump has repeatedly said throughout the conflict that Iran needs to surrender its enriched uranium stockpiles, which he regularly calls "nuclear dust".
Greene's warning
Greene claimed: "Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history."
She added: "People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity. America is not untouchable. If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history." She concluded: "Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW."
The Mirror has contacted the White House for further comment.
