Marjorie Taylor Greene has said there would be “political revolution in America” if President Donald Trump deploys U.S. soldiers into Iran.
It is unclear what prompted the former Republican congresswoman and one-time Trump ally to issue the warning this weekend, though reports indicate the US and Israel are preparing for renewed fighting as the month-old ceasefire remains fragile.
“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,” wrote Greene in a Sunday afternoon post on X. “The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it.”
“End this war. It’s stupid,” she added.
In Trump’s latest social media outburst on Sunday towards Tehran, he warned that the “clock is ticking” as peace negations between the U.S. and Iran stall.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
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.
Greene, who left Congress in January, has repeatedly voiced her opposition to the U.S. war against Iran, directly challenging the “mental state” of President Trump shortly after the conflict began.
“I want to say, what is happening to the man that I supported, you supported, the man that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said ‘No more foreign wars,’ ‘No more regime change?’” Greene told conservative commentator Megyn Kelly two days after the U.S.’s initial strikes February 28.
“Promised it on the campaign. JD Vance promised it. Tulsi Gabbard promised it, all of them promised it,” she added. “And we’re a year in, a year in, and we’re in another f****** war, and we’ve got American troops being killed.”
Greene had once been a close ally of the president and has echoed his claims that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen”.
Since last year, however, the former representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district has broken with Trump over several domestic and foreign policy positions, including his decision to launch airstrikes on Iran last June, his support for Israel during the war in Gaza, and insufficient regulation of big tech.
