Trump is 'calling for a nuclear strike,' former White House comms director says

5 hours ago

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci warns Trump is 'calling for a nuclear strike' against Iran and urges his immediate removal.
Ex-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also calls for invoking the 25th Amendment, condemning Trump's threat to wipe out 'an entire civilization' as 'evil and madness'.
The 25th Amendment details procedures for presidential succession if the Cabinet declares the president unable to discharge duties, with Congress ultimately deciding.
Despite calls, no Cabinet member has indicated intent to invoke the 25th Amendment, though officials describe Trump as the most 'bloodthirsty' and hawkish in his administration.
Trump threatens on Truth Social that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran doesn't meet his deadline to make a deal and open the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has delayed deadlines and alternated between pessimistic and optimistic statements on Iran negotiations, with Iran rejecting the latest ceasefire proposal.
U.N. Secretary-General warns that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law, but Trump says he's 'not at all' concerned about potential war crime perceptions.
