The White House has condemned former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent claim that the Trump administration is actively discussing nuclear strikes on Iran.
In a lengthy post on X, Greene wrote: “I’m not speculating,” she stated, “I know.” She asserted that strategy meetings within the administration are considering the use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle labeled Greene’s claims as “total Fake News” and criticized her for spreading misinformation. Ingle stated: “Marjorie ‘Quitter’ Greene has no idea what she is talking about. The former Congresswoman disgracefully quit on her constituents during the middle of her term, and wants to pretend like she has insight into the President’s thinking. She is completely out of the loop and should quit spreading Fake News.”
The White House has also highlighted that Greene’s assertions contradict established intelligence assessments. Historically, nuclear weapons were used for the first time on August 6th and 9th, 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These bombings immediately killed an estimated 110,000 people and resulted in total deaths of approximately 214,000 by the end of 1945 due to severe burns and trauma. Survivors endured prolonged suffering from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, generational birth defects, and economic collapse.
U.S. intelligence assessments indicated that Iran was not close to developing nuclear weapons at the time of previous military actions in Iraq. The U.S.-led bombing mission resulted in the deaths of Iranian leaders and innocent children in a school, and Iran has since maintained control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Critics warn that the administration’s potential shift toward lowering the threshold for nuclear use against Iran could trigger a global crisis, resulting in widespread economic depression and unprecedented human suffering.
