- Alex Jones (formerly of InfoWars) called Tuesday for President Trump's immediate impeachment over the Iran conflict
- Jones described the Iran situation as "absolutely out of control" and identified stopping Trump as "the big issue"
- Jones urged Congress to invoke war powers as the mechanism to halt the president's military escalation
- Jones warned that the Trump administration is preparing for a national military draft as part of the Iran response
- Trump separately vowed earlier Tuesday to retaliate against Iran following an attack on US forces in Jordan, according to a companion Hill headline
Why it matters: Jones — a high-profile media figure who built his brand championing Trump-aligned causes — publicly broke ranks by endorsing impeachment and invoking war powers over Iran, a notable defection from pro-Trump media ranks. His specific warning that a national draft is being prepared adds a domestic conscription dimension to the political pressure on the administration at a moment when Trump is publicly vowing retaliation for attacks on US forces in Jordan.
