Marjorie Taylor Greene Condemns on Trump Admin for 'Turning Back on Campaign Promises': 'We Are Entering Nuclear War'
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch MAGA supporter, condemned the Trump administration for "turning its back on campaign promises" after the weekend strike on Iran.
In an interview on "Steve Bannon's War Room," Greene criticized the Trump administration for neglecting the needs of everyday Americans, who she said are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to afford groceries, health insurance, housing, gas and more, all while the U.S. goes to war in support of Israel.
"Six months in, Steve, and here we are, turning back on the campaign promises," Greene stated in a video shared on X. "We bombed Iran on behalf of Israel, yes, it was on behalf of Israel. We're entering a nuclear war, World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt," she continued.
Greene added that the people cheering on the U.S. attacks on Iran are going to drastically change their tune "the minute we start seeing flag-draped coffins on the nightly news." She went on to slam Fox News and CNN for being outlets that "brainwashes baby boomers."
"And that is exactly how this is going to go down," Greene added.
Greene spoke out against U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran war and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for launching the initial strike.
Alongside the shared interview clip, she wrote: "MAGA is not for foreign wars. We are not for regime change. We are for AMERICA FIRST. The United States should not be involved in fighting nuclear-armed Israel's war with Iran."

Trump Announces Ceasefire Between Iran And Israel
President Donald Trump announced Monday that Iran and Israel had agreed to a staggered ceasefire that would bring about an "official end" to a conflict that had threatened to escalate into a full blown war involving the United States. "It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE," Trump wrote Monday on his Truth Social platform, although there was no official confirmation from either of the Middle Eastern adversaries. Over a week of tit-for tat missile launches have killed hundreds in Iran and two dozen in Israel, according to officials on both sides. The United States joined the conflict over the weekend with unprecedented strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, spurring a retaliatory missile attack Monday on an American base in Qatar, which Trump said had been successfully defeated. Trump said the ceasefire would be a phased 24-hour process beginning at around 0400 GMT Tuesday, with Iran unilaterally halting all operations. Israel would follow suit 12 hours later, the president said. "Upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world," he said, adding that both sides had agreed to remain "peaceful and respectful" during each phase of the process. Several loud explosions were heard in Tehran overnight, AFP correspondents said, after the Israeli army warned residents in a central area of the Iranian capital to evacuate. Any cessation in hostilities would come as a huge relief to world leaders frantic about an escalation in violence igniting into a wider conflagration. The adversaries had been swapping missile fire since Israel carried out surprise "preemptive" strikes against Iran on June 13, targeting nuclear and military sites, and prompting Trump to warn of a possible "massive" regional conflict. The US leader's ceasefire announcement came hours after Iran launched missiles at the largest US military facility in the Middle East -- Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar -- in a move Trump shrugged off as "very weak." Calling for a de-escalation, Trump said Tehran had given advance notice of the barrage. No one had been hurt in the attack, Trump said. Iran's National Security Council confirmed having targeted the base "in response to the US aggressive and insolent action against Iran's nuclear sites and facilities." But it added that the number of missiles launched "was the same as the number of bombs that the US had used" -- a signal that it had calibrated its response to be directly proportional rather than escalatory. "This was calibrated and telegraphed in a way that would not result in any American casualties, so that there is an off ramp for both sides," Ali Vaez, a senior advisor at the International Crisis Group, told AFP. The Qatari offensive came after the United States joined its ally Israel's military campaign against Iran, attacking an underground uranium enrichment center with massive bunker-busting bombs and hitting two other nuclear facilities overnight Saturday into Sunday. As international concern mounted that Israel's campaign and the US strikes could ignite into a wider conflict, French President Emmanuel Macron insisted that "the spiral of chaos must end" while China warned of the potential economic fallout. Iran said its assault in Qatar wasn't targeting the Middle Eastern neighbor, but the government in Doha accused Tehran of "blatant aggression" and claimed its right to a "proportional" response. Iran's state media quoted the Revolutionary Guard Corps announcing that six missiles had hit Al Udeid, which had been evacuated beforehand, according to the Qataris. The broadside was made up of "short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles," a US defense official said. AFP reporters heard blasts in central Doha and in Lusail, north of the capital, on Monday evening, and saw projectiles moving across the night sky. Iranians gathered in central Tehran to celebrate, images on state TV showed, with some waving the flag of the Islamic republic and chanting "Death to America." Qatar earlier announced the temporary closure of its airspace in light of "developments in the region," while the US embassy and other foreign missions warned their citizens to shelter in place. Israeli strikes on Iran have killed more than 400 people, Iran's health ministry has said. Twenty-four people have died in Iran's attacks on Israel, according to official figures. After a day of tit-for-tat missile launches between Israel and Iran, the Israeli army called around midnight for residents in part of central Tehran to evacuate, saying it was "targeting the Iranian regime's military infrastructure."

US Supreme Court Allows Third Country Deportations To Resume
A divided US Supreme Court paved the way on Monday for the Trump administration to resume deportations of undocumented migrants to countries that are not their own. The unsigned order from the conservative-dominated top court came in response to an emergency appeal by the Justice Department to lift a stay imposed by a lower court on so-called third country deportations. The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for the decision and the three liberal justices dissented. The original case challenging the third country deportations will now be heard by an appeals court but the top court's move allows the removals to proceed for now. District Judge Brian Murphy had ordered a halt to third country deportations in April, saying migrants were not being given a "meaningful opportunity" to contest their expulsions. Murphy said they should get at least 15 days to challenge their deportation and provide evidence of whether they may be at risk of torture or death if expelled. The original case involves the deportation of eight men -- two from Myanmar, two from Cuba, a Vietnamese man, a Laotian, a Mexican and one from South Sudan -- who the US authorities said were convicted violent criminals. They were being flown to impoverished war-torn South Sudan when Murphy's order came down and have been held since at a US military base in Djibouti. The Trump administration has defended the third country deportations as necessary since the home nations of some of those being targeted for removal often refuse to accept them. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, author of the dissent, accused the administration of "flagrantly unlawful conduct" that is "exposing thousands to the risk of torture or death." "The government has made clear in word and deed that it feels itself unconstrained by law, free to deport anyone anywhere without notice or an opportunity to be heard," Sotomayor said. Donald Trump campaigned for president promising to expel millions of undocumented migrants, and he has taken a number of actions aimed at speeding up deportations since returning to the White House in January. But his mass deportation efforts have been thwarted or stalled by numerous courts, including the Supreme Court, over concerns that migrant rights to due process are being ignored. Murphy, an appointee of Trump's Democratic predecessor Joe Biden, also temporarily blocked the government from expelling Asian migrants to Libya.
