Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims White House Is “Discussing” Nuclear Weapons Use On Iran

Marjorie Taylor Greene has made fresh claims alleging that the White House is discussing the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran as part of strategy meetings.

In a post on X, the former Congresswoman wrote that “They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings,” adding that she was not speculating and characterizing the alleged plan as “pure evil.”

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.

The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and…

Greene further said that U.S. intelligence indicated Iran was “no where near creating a nuclear weapon,” and she also referenced what she described as a repeated Israeli assessment that Iran was only weeks away from producing a nuclear weapon. She argued that after bombing, Iran gained greater leverage in the region, including through what she described as its role related to the Strait of Hormuz.

The remarks also tie into Greene’s criticisms of Donald Trump’s approach to Iran. She highlighted Trump’s statements claiming Iran had been “very badly defeated,” and she pointed to his comments on Truth Social describing the U.S. as capable of controlling whether anything reaches Iran unless a deal—or what he called “Total Surrender”—is achieved.

Greene said Trump has repeatedly maintained that Iran must surrender its enriched uranium stockpiles, which she described in the context of his language about nuclear threats. In her post, she argued that despite Trump’s assurances about avoiding further foreign wars, his administration could be linked to decisions she called a potential “nuclear holocaust,” which she said would likely increase the risk of wider conflict and major humanitarian and economic harm.
