Greene Criticizes Trump’s Iran Strategy

On Sunday, in a post on X, Greene wrote, “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”

She accused Trump of escalating conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, saying, “The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades.”

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned his posts showed a “ranting like an unhinged madman” threatening potential war crimes, saying America deserves better.

Happy Easter, America. As you head off to church and celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media. 

He’s threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies.

Trump Issues Ultimatum To Iran Over Strait Of Hormuz

On Saturday, President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, warning that failure to reopen the waterway could trigger U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants.

Trump followed up on Sunday, warning of dire consequences if Iran did not comply before the Tuesday deadline.

Earlier on Friday, Iran shot down a U.S. F-15E fighter jet, prompting a high-risk rescue mission that recovered one service member while another remained missing.

Iranian forces also struck two Black Hawk helicopters, though an A-10 pilot safely ejected, marking a serious setback for U.S. forces.

Despite U.S. airstrikes, Iran retained substantial military capability, with missiles, drones, and underground stockpiles, continuing to threaten the Strait of Hormuz.
