WNBA’s Natasha Cloud Slams Trump, Calls for Impeachment Over Iran Nuclear Strikes

New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud, a WNBA champion and three-time All-Defense Team member, didn’t hold back after the U.S. military’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night. Cloud took to social media to voice her outrage, calling the action "a sad sad day" and suggesting it’s "grounds for impeachment." Her posts echoed a broader sentiment of concern, amplifying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s sharp criticism of President Trump’s decision to authorize the strikes without congressional approval.

Ocasio-Cortez labeled the move a "grave violation" of constitutional checks, warning of a potential war that could entangle the U.S. for decades. Cloud, never one to shy away from speaking truth to power, has a history of bold takes. Earlier this year, she slammed Trump’s rollback of DEI programs, arguing the system prioritizes "money over people." Her latest comments underscore a deep frustration with unchecked power and a nation veering toward profit over humanity.

President Trump, announcing the strikes, claimed the U.S. obliterated Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities using B-2 stealth bombers. He framed the action as a push for peace, warning Iran of harsher consequences if it doesn’t comply. Cloud’s response, however, cuts through the bravado, spotlighting the risks of escalating tensions and the erosion of democratic norms.

Cloud’s voice resonates beyond the court, blending athletic grit with a call for accountability. Her posts challenge us to question: Are we witnessing leadership or recklessness? The answer may shape the nation’s path forward.
