Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) pushed back Sunday against mounting criticism over her opposition to the U.S. bombing campaign on Iranian nuclear facilities, reaffirming her allegiance to President Donald Trump while drawing a sharp line on the nation’s entanglement in the Iran-Israel conflict.
In a pointed statement posted to Twitter, Greene declared, “I fully back President Trump and the incredible work his administration is doing, but I disagree with bombing Iran and diving into a war that Israel ignited. That’s not disloyalty—it’s critical thinking, and it’s as American as it gets.”
My thoughts on bombing Iran.
I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.

Her remarks came in response to a wave of backlash following Saturday night’s coordinated strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites—Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow—carried out with bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles. Trump, who ordered the operation, lauded the attack as a “spectacular military success” and warned Tehran that any retaliatory move would be met with “unrelenting force.”
But Greene, long a fixture of the MAGA movement, voiced skepticism of U.S. involvement, cautioning against further entrenchment in the Middle East. In a follow-up post, noted Newsweek, she fiercely criticized the decision to get involved in “another senseless foreign war.”
“I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX,” Greene wrote. “I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war.”
She added: “Foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American.
“American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits. I’m sick of it.”
Democrats seized on the apparent rift within the Republican ranks, questioning Greene’s commitment to Trump. She fired back, accusing them of selective outrage. citing their vocal support for President Biden’s aid to Ukraine and his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Greene also dismissed any notion of disunity within the GOP. Echoing Trump’s own Truth Social post from Sunday morning, she affirmed that the Republican Party has great unity.
Her comments underscore the evolving posture of a GOP grappling with competing instincts: loyalty to Trump, wariness of foreign wars, and the enduring influence of pro-Israel hawks.
