Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Trump Officials Discuss Nuclear Use on Iran
· World · Times of India, Hindustan Times
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that Trump administration officials were discussing using nuclear weapons against Iran, saying the talks occurred in high‑level strategy meetings. Greene said the administration had lowered its threshold for nuclear use and that U.S. intelligence did not see Iran close to a nuclear weapon, blaming Israel for providing warnings. The White House has not yet responded to the allegation and the claim remains unsubstantiated. The claim follows a series of tense exchanges between Washington and Tehran, including Trump’s recent declaration that the Strait of Hormuz would be U.S. territory after “defeating Iran.” The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint, with tanker traffic falling after attacks and U.S. threats of further economic pressure as negotiations for a permanent settlement have stalled.
Why it matters
The allegation indicates a potential shift toward more aggressive U.S. strategy against Iran, which could destabilise the Gulf and affect oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz—a route India relies on for energy imports.
