Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for having fallen out with U.S. President Donald Trump, after having been a fervent ally, claimed on Monday that the Republican's administration is studying the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran to end the war and demanded that such an idea be discarded and the conflict brought to a close.
"They are discussing the use of nuclear weapons against Iran in strategic meetings. Yes, you read that correctly. It is real. I am not speculating. It is something I know," Greene wrote in a message on X.
The former member of the House of Representatives for a Georgia district recalled the tragic consequences in Japan, the only country attacked with nuclear weapons in history, when the U.S. dropped two bombs in August 1945 that are estimated to have left more than 200,000 dead, including victims who later died from radiation.
Greene, who left her seat in January after Trump declared a campaign against her due to their disagreements on issues such as healthcare, the Epstein case files, or foreign policy, stated that the U.S. president decided to start the war motivated only by Israeli claims that contradicted U.S. intelligence analysis, which dismissed the idea that Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon.
"And now it is our government that is considering lowering the nuclear threshold to use nuclear weapons against Iran, even though Trump claims to have won the war like 40 times and says that the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz," asserted the former congresswoman in her social media message.
"Trump promised no more foreign wars, but he could be the one to provoke a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into a larger conflict, an economic depression, and massive human suffering never before seen in our lives, and perhaps in all of history. People must raise their voices and bravely stop this madness," the text adds.
Greene's message, the publication of which technically coincides with the expiration this Monday of a ceasefire signed by Washington and Tehran to negotiate for 60 days, concludes with this appeal: "Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war now."
Trump has threatened on several occasions to launch large-scale attacks against Iran but has always denied that the use of nuclear weapons is in his plans.
