U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) issued a warning to the country of Iran during an interview on Meet the Press on Sunday.
After the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, and Hezbollah’s trading fire with Israel along the Gaza border, Graham threatened to introduce a resolution in the Senate “to allow military action by the United States in conjunction with Israel to knock Iran out of the oil business.” He added: “Iran, if you escalate this war, we’re coming for you.”
Note: According to the U.S. Department of State, Iran has “supported acts of terrorism in Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen through proxies and partner groups such as Hizballah (Hezbollah) and Hamas.”
On Sunday, Graham announced that he and a group of bipartisan senators including Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) will travel to Israel and Saudi Arabia to try to ensure that normalizing the “relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel is moving forward in this dark hour.”
