Former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for the US war on Iran to stop, criticising President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict.

Al Jazeera Global News reported the comments on 16 September, describing Greene as a former ally of Trump. The report did not specify when, where or in what forum she made the remarks.

Greene’s intervention places criticism of the Iran conflict within Trump’s former political support base. Her call for an end to what the source describes as the US “war on Iran” was directed at the administration’s conduct of the conflict.

The available material does not outline which actions Greene believes should stop or set out any alternative policy. It also does not include a response from Trump.

Greene is no longer a member of Congress. The source material provides no further details about the political implications of her criticism or its reception.
