US considering nuclear weapons against Iran as war falters, claims Marjorie Taylor Greene Submitted by Elis Gjevori on Mon, 08/17/2026 - 11:00 Former congresswoman and Trump ally says Washington is weighing nuclear escalation as its conventional weapons stocks run low Former Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks during a hearing with the House Committee on Homeland Security in the Cannon House…
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has alleged that the current administration is considering the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, as the conflict appears to be losing steam. Greene, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, made the claims on social media, stating that she has firsthand knowledge of the discussions.
She described the proposal as "pure evil" and urged Americans to speak out against the escalating situation. Greene criticized Washington for launching the war based on Israel's repeated warnings about Iran's nuclear program, which she claimed was unfounded. She also accused the government of lowering the nuclear threshold, potentially using nuclear weapons against Iran despite Trump's claims of victory and control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Greene warned of potential global consequences, including a "nuclear holocaust" and economic depression. The US and Israel initiated military operations against Iran on February 28th, resulting in thousands of Iranian civilian casualties and disrupting global energy supplies. The war has not achieved its intended objectives. Greene's comments come as the US military faces depleted weapon stocks, with reports suggesting that nearly all long-range precision missiles have been used.
In response, the Pentagon is reportedly drafting a strategy to increase the use of tactical nuclear weapons in regional conflicts.
