Alex Jones calls for Trump impeachment over Iran conflict

Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has dramatically broken with President Donald Trump, calling on Congress to impeach him or invoke the 25th Amendment. During a July 28, 2026, livestream on X, Jones accused Trump of leading the U.S. into an unauthorized war with Iran, preparing a national military draft, and planning a massive ground invasion. The rupture highlights growing divisions within the MAGA movement over foreign military interventions and the trillion-dollar National Defense Authorization Act.
