In January 2024, Laura Loomer tweeted that rival Nikki Haley wanted to 'bomb Iran' based on her CNBC comments urging strikes on Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria—comments that stopped short of targeting Iran directly. The post gained fresh attention this week during Trump's 'Operation Epic Fury,' a three-week campaign hitting over 1,000 Iranian nuclear sites, missile facilities, and more, launched March 1 to curb Tehran's threats. Critics like Glenn Greenwald and the Hodgetwins called out the irony, while Loomer backed the strikes after reportedly speaking with Trump, exposing divides among conservatives over his hawkish shift from past peace pledges.
