Alex Jones Calls for Impeachment Over Iran Conflict

7/29/2026, 8:26:52 PM

Core Event

On Tuesday, Alex Jones, the former owner of InfoWars, urged Congress to impeach President Donald Trump and invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, claiming the administration is preparing a national draft and a “massive ground invasion” of Iran. Jones described the situation as “absolutely out of control” and warned that the president’s support for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) makes the conflict “impeachable.”

Background & Context

The United States has been conducting limited strikes against Iranian targets, prompting speculation about a broader escalation. In March, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president had not ruled out the possibility of a draft for the Iran conflict. The House recently passed a $1.15 trillion annual defense spending bill for fiscal 2027, which would fund ongoing operations despite the lack of a formal congressional war declaration. Critics have argued that the conflict may violate the War Powers Resolution, a law intended to limit presidential authority to initiate or expand overseas hostilities without congressional approval.

Official Statements & Responses

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, confirmed that the administration has not dismissed the prospect of a draft related to the Iran situation. Lawmakers in the House approved the FY 2027 defense appropriations bill, signaling legislative support for continued military funding even as the war-powers question remains unsettled.

Verbatim Quotes

  • “The big issue is how to stop Trump. And we have to have Congress go for the war powers. They’ve tried three times to vote on war powers — they’re supposed to authorize a war. This is a war; they’re getting the draft ready. If this isn’t a war, nothing’s a war. I mean, this is absolutely out of control,” — Alex Jones, the former owner of InfoWars, on Tuesday
  • “They want us in a total war so they can censor and take our freedoms, nationalize everything, and push us aside with AI — total liability, immunity, and protection. This is a disaster. We are facing tyranny, but the public’s awakening,” — Alex Jones, the former owner of InfoWars, on Tuesday
