Marjorie Taylor Greene claims officials are considering lowering the threshold for using atomic weapons
Officials in Washington are allegedly discussing the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran as the months-long conflict continues to escalate, former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed.
Greene, once a prominent MAGA ally, made the allegation in a post on X on Sunday. She said the issue had been raised during strategy meetings, but did not identify those involved or provide evidence.
“They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings,” she wrote. “I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil.”
Greene claimed Washington was considering lowering the threshold for nuclear use despite US President Donald Trump repeatedly declaring victory in the conflict. She warned that such a move could trigger a “nuclear holocaust” and drag the world into a much wider war.
The White House has not publicly confirmed that such discussions are taking place.
Greene has increasingly criticized Trump over the US-Israeli war on Iran, putting her at odds with a political movement she was once closely associated with.
