Marjorie Taylor Greene has criticized Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran as a betrayal of anti-war supporters, as debate intensifies in Washington over the escalation.
Former U.S. lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has strongly criticized President Donald Trump over his administration’s military strikes on Iran, accusing him of betraying supporters who opposed foreign wars. In a lengthy social media post, Greene dismissed the rationale for the strikes aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and pursuing regime change, arguing that Americans had voted against continued overseas conflicts.
Trump defended the action, describing it as a “massive and ongoing” combat operation targeting Iran’s missile and naval capabilities to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. While some Republicans backed the move, including Rep. Marlin Stutzman, Democrats and several GOP critics called for congressional debate, warning of the risk of broader regional escalation.
