Marjorie Taylor Greene rails against ‘insane’ Trump after Easter Iran threat

Greene said Trump’s threats could disrupt a passage that carries about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, officials said.

  • On Easter Sunday, President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, threatening that Tehran would be "living in Hell" if the shipping lane remains closed.
  • The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas volumes, making disruption a critical energy risk; Trump had previously set a 10-day window before escalating to this shorter deadline.
  • Trump also threatened to target Iran's electricity grid, citing "Power Plant Day" and "Bridge Day" as potential strike targets, while claiming 178,000 jobs were added and the trade deficit dropped 55%.
  • Former U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted the threats as "evil," arguing that targeting infrastructure harms ordinary Iranians and urging Christians to pursue peace instead of escalating war.
  • Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien defended the president's social media approach as a distinct wartime strategy, while Iran's ambassador to the U.K., Ali Mousavi, indicated Tehran would continue coordinating safety with the International Maritime Organization.
