Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Trump a ‘Revolution’ Is Coming

Marjorie Taylor Greene warned President Donald Trump that sending U.S. troops into Iran would spark a “political revolution in America.” This marked one of her strongest public disagreements with the president, whom she formerly supported.
Greene, the former Republican congresswoman from Georgia, posted her warning on X on Sunday as Trump urged Iran to reach a peace agreement. He indicated that patience in Washington was wearing thin. The warning came amid stalled negotiations, rising tension in the Gulf, and a fragile cease-fire after months of fighting.
“If you send U.S. military troops into Iran, there will be a political revolution in America. We are done. We said no more foreign wars, and we meant it,” Greene wrote, according to The Independent. “The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it.”
Greene added, “End this war. It’s stupid.”
Her remarks surfaced as Trump intensified his rhetoric toward Tehran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, fast, or there won’t be anything left of them. Time is of the essence!”
The Guardian reported that Trump was expected to meet with his national security team to discuss what happens next. He also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before an Israeli security cabinet meeting focused on Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza. Speculation in Israel suggested that fighting could resume if diplomacy fails.
The standoff has revealed a growing divide within Trump’s political coalition.
Greene fires off a warning to President Donald Trump over the Iran war escalation.
Greene built much of her national profile as one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, but she has consistently criticized his approach to Iran. She accused him of breaking promises to avoid foreign wars.
Greene left Congress in January and since then, she has often criticized Trump on matters of foreign policy and other issues, including his support for Israel during the war in Gaza and his handling of the Epstein files.
Two days after the first U.S. strikes on Iran on February 28, Greene told conservative commentator Megyn Kelly that Trump campaigned against wars like Iraq and rejected regime change. “He promised it on the campaign. JD Vance promised it.
Tulsi Gabbard promised it; they all did,” Greene said, according to The Independent. “And we’re a year in, a year in, and we’re in another war, and we’ve got American troops getting killed.”
Greene’s warning came as other conservative influencers, including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens, criticized Trump’s policies after years of previously supporting the MAGA movement.
Greene goes after Trump and his circles affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein.
Official second-round peace negotiations have not occurred in Islamabad, Pakistan. Washington and Tehran remain divided over Iran’s nuclear program and navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Gulf region has faced new incidents in recent days, as TIME reported that three drones entered Emirati airspace on Sunday, with two intercepted. The Emirati defense ministry mentioned that a third drone hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra region.
Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry also stated that three drones approaching from Iraqi airspace were intercepted on Sunday.
The war has impacted Trump’s standing at home, with his approval rating dropping to 37% in a New York Times/Siena poll published Monday, and 64% of Americans said his decision to engage in war with Iran was wrong.
