Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims US Is Considering Nuclear Strike on Iran: ‘It’s Real’

Marjorie Taylor Greene Alleges Trump Team Discussing Nuclear Strike on Iran, Offers No Evidence

Former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has alleged that senior Trump administration officials are discussing the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. However, she did not provide evidence to support the claim, which has not been independently verified.

In a post on X on Sunday, Greene wrote that nuclear weapons were being discussed during strategy meetings and insisted that she was speaking from knowledge rather than speculation.

Greene, who has previously opposed US military intervention in Iran, warned that any nuclear attack could trigger a much wider international conflict. She called on Americans to oppose the use of nuclear weapons and demanded an end to the war.

No public US government statement or official document confirming that a nuclear strike against Iran is under consideration has been identified.

What US Intelligence Assessments Say

US intelligence assessments have previously differentiated between Iran’s nuclear capabilities and an active effort to develop a nuclear weapon.

The 2025 Annual Threat Assessment stated that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had not reauthorised the nuclear weapons programme suspended in 2003.

The 2026 assessment said that, before Operation Epic Fury, Iran had been developing increasingly capable missile systems while failing to meet some of its nuclear obligations to the International Atomic Energy Agency. US intelligence agencies also said they were monitoring Iran’s weapons-related capabilities and activities following the start of the operation.

In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme had been “obliterated” and that US intelligence continued to assess whether Iran’s leadership would authorise a nuclear weapons programme.

Greene Invokes Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Greene also referred to the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki while warning about the humanitarian consequences of any future nuclear attack.

She argued that the destruction caused by the bombings demonstrated the devastating long-term effects of nuclear weapons, including deaths from injuries and radiation exposure.

Greene said the world had learned a lesson from the attacks and urged leaders to prevent nuclear weapons from being used again.

Questions Trump Administration’s Iran Policy

Greene further accused the Trump administration of ignoring intelligence assessments that she said indicated Iran was not close to developing a nuclear weapon.

She criticised the US military campaign against Iran and disputed President Donald Trump’s claims regarding the conflict and the Strait of Hormuz.

Greene warned that a nuclear strike could trigger a broader global confrontation, severe economic consequences and mass civilian suffering. She urged Americans to pressure their leaders against any move towards nuclear escalation.

Claim Remains Unverified

Greene’s comments come amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran. However, her allegation that US officials are actively discussing the use of nuclear weapons against Iran remains unsubstantiated.

There is currently no publicly identified US government confirmation that a nuclear strike against Iran is being considered. Greene’s remarks should therefore be treated as an allegation rather than a confirmed development.
