Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Republican congresswoman, has warned that there will be “a political revolution in America” if President Donald Trump deploys US soldiers into Iran. In a post on X on Sunday, she wrote: “If you send in U.S. military troops into Iran, there is going to be a political revolution in America. WE. ARE. DONE. We said no more foreign wars and we meant it. The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it.”
Greene’s warning comes amid reports that the US and Israel are preparing for renewed fighting, with a month-old ceasefire remaining fragile. Trump himself issued a threat to Tehran on Sunday, saying on Truth Social: “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.”
The president last week rejected Iran’s response to Washington’s latest peace proposal as “totally unacceptable” after Tehran requested separate nuclear talks from peace negotiations. Tensions have been high since the US launched airstrikes on Iran in late February, following a breakdown in diplomatic talks.
Greene, who left Congress in January, has repeatedly voiced opposition to US military action against Iran. Shortly after the initial strikes on 28 February, she questioned Trump’s “mental state” in an interview with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, saying: “What is happening to the man that I supported… the man that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said ‘No more foreign wars,’ ‘No more regime change’?” She added that Trump, JD Vance, and Tulsi Gabbard had all promised no more foreign wars, yet “we’re a year in… and we’re in another f****** war, and we’ve got American troops being killed.”
Greene was once a close ally of Trump and echoed his claims that the 2020 election was “stolen”. However, she has broken with him over several domestic and foreign policy positions, including his decision to launch airstrikes on Iran, his support for Israel during the war in Gaza, and insufficient regulation of big tech.
