WNBA star Natasha Cloud has called out United States President Donald Trump after he announced a military strike on Iran.
The United States targeted Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan, three nuclear sites of the Middle Eastern nation, as tensions escalated between Iran and Israel. Trump said he was hoping Iran would open peace talks after what had happened.
New York Liberty guard Cloud shared a three-word reaction to the news on X.
"Grounds for impeachment," Cloud tweeted.

Many politicians from both the Democratic and Republican parties shared the same sentiment as Natasha Cloud. Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky both called it unconstitutional.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois pointed to the possibility of Donald Trump's impeachment. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders said he was appalled by the decision, stating that only Congress had the power to take the United States into war.
On the other hand, House Speaker Mike Johnson explained that the POTUS respects the Constitution and that the attack on Iran was necessary.
"The President fully respects the Article I power of Congress, and tonight’s necessary, limited, and targeted strike follows the history and tradition of similar military actions under presidents of both parties," Johnson said.
Donald Trump addressed the people of the United States on Saturday evening, saying that Iran's three nuclear sites were "completely and totally obliterated." He also warned the Middle Eastern nation about retaliation, saying it would be met by an even bigger attack.
Natasha Cloud cut ties with her brother for voting for Donald Trump in 2020
Speaking to The Washingtonian back in 2021, Natasha Cloud explained that she had a falling out with her brother, Eric, for voting for Donald Trump. Cloud said she had to rush to get married to Aleshia Ocasio back then because they were afraid of the consequences if Trump got re-elected. They divorced in 2022.
"He couldn’t fathom how voting for (Trump) was voting for someone trying to endanger his own sister’s rights, that we were rushing to get married to protect ourselves in case he got reelected," Natasha said. "It was too much. I was done."
Eric said he regretted how their relationship had soured.
