Overview

  • President Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan—on June 21, marking a direct U.S. intervention after Israel’s pre-emptive attacks.
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene urged Americans to pray against potential terrorist retaliation and argued the conflict does not serve U.S. interests.
  • Greene defended her opposition as loyal dissent, asserting that disagreement over bombing Iran does not equal disloyalty to President Trump.
  • Leading Republicans such as Lindsey Graham have backed the strikes, underscoring a widening split in the GOP over Middle East strategy.
  • A YouGov poll found only 16 percent of Americans support U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict, reflecting broad public skepticism of further military action.
