Fact Check: Did Laura Loomer criticize Trump’s ceasefire and call for Iran’s destruction?

WASHINGTON, DC: Rumors are swirling on social media that Laura Loomer is disappointed with President Donald Trump’s decision to implement a two-week ceasefire with Iran. The claim also reported that she wanted to see Iran’s civilization burn to the ground. The claims emerged hours after Trump announced the temporary pause in military actions on April 7, following intensified diplomatic talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. But how accurate are the reports about Loomer’s reaction?

Claim: Laura Loomer criticizes Trump’s 2-week Iran ceasefire, citing 'burning' concerns

An X post from 'The General' claims that Laura Loomer expressed strong disappointment over President Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran. The post said, “BREAKING: Laura Loomer is extremely disappointed that President Trump agreed to a ceasefire” and added, “She wanted to see Iran’s civilization burn to the ground.” The post included a photo of Loomer speaking at a microphone with teary eyes.

The post has received nearly 30K views and sparked widespread discussion, with many criticizing her reaction. One commenter mocked, “I think she should go back to acting on SAW,” while another wrote, “Too bad, she’s the one who’s going to be burned up to the ground, evil woman.”

Trump announced the temporary pause on military actions after talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, who urged restraint during negotiations. The White House said, “This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

The president added that the two-week delay would allow both sides to finalize terms, saying, “Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.”

Fact Check: Laura Loomer’s reaction to Trump’s Iran ceasefire is exaggerated

The claim in the @GeneralMCNews post is misleading and exaggerated. While Laura Loomer expressed disappointment, she has not said she “wanted to see Iran’s civilization burn to the ground.”

Here’s what she actually said. She criticized the agreement, stating, “The negotiation is a negative for our country. We didn’t really get anything out of it and the terrorists in Iran are celebrating.” She added, “I don’t know why people are acting like this is a win. The Muslims, Woke Reich and Trump haters are using this ‘negotiation’ to attack President Trump while they praise Allies of Tucker Carlson and call for the 25th Amendment to be used against President Trump.”

She concluded, “The ceasefire will fail. And Trump will be proven right about how this regime needs to be wiped out. It has already failed. The negotiation has been a failure so those who are celebrating while undermining Trump are misguided.”

There is no official report that Laura Loomer wanted to see Iran burned over Trump’s ceasefire agreement. If such a statement were true, Loomer herself would have posted it on X, where she expressed her disappointment. Furthermore, the viral claim about Loomer’s reaction included no source material to verify it, and there was no information on where or when she allegedly made the statement. These missing details indicate that the claim about Laura Loomer is fake.
