These explosive claims follow a bold declaration from the president himself.
When global conflicts escalate, the rhetoric often reaches a boiling point.
The ultimate weapon usually remains a silent threat in the background. Now, one outspoken politician claims those extreme options are actively on the table.
Whispers of the unthinkable
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has leveled a shocking accusation against the current administration. She took to social media on Sunday to share what she called a “pure evil” strategy.
According to Greene, the White House is seriously considering a massive escalation in the Middle East. She says leaders are actively looking at the nuclear option to deal with Iran.
“They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings,” Greene posted on her X account. “Yes, you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know.”
Ignoring the intelligence
The politician did not hold back in her criticism of President Donald Trump. She argued his team ignored domestic briefings and instead listened to foreign warnings about nuclear threats.
“Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon,” Greene claimed, according to the Daily Express.
She added that Israel pushed a different narrative, claiming Tehran was only weeks away from building a bomb. That directly led to military strikes, which she says killed innocent children and prompted Iran to lock down the Strait of Hormuz.
Standoff at sea
These explosive claims follow a bold declaration from the president himself. During a Friday event in Long Island, Trump announced he would claim the highly contested waterway as American property.
Trump insisted that Iran had already suffered a massive military defeat. He posted on Truth Social that nothing would move through the region unless Tehran surrendered its enriched uranium entirely.
Meanwhile, Greene painted a much darker picture of the ongoing standoff. She warned that breaking the nuclear taboo would unleash economic depression and unmatched human suffering across the globe.
“People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity,” Greene wrote, urging the public to hold current leadership fully responsible.
The Daily Express reported they have contacted the White House to respond to the dramatic allegations.
