Lindsey on Iran

Senator Graham’s statement “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard” posted on his X account regarding the possible involvement of Iran in the Jordan base attack that resulted in the death of three US Military personnel and wounded around 40 individuals garnered around 13.2 million views. But upon closer look of the comments from that statement, there’s a huge percentage of X users that doesn’t agree with the Senator that attacking Iran is the way forward. A day later, Graham changed his tone by going more specific, “target Iranian oil or IRGC military infrastructure valuable to the regime. Anything less will be seen as weakness and will put more Americans in harm’s way.” The Senator double down on his earlier statements, and criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the Iran situation “All the attacks against American forces in the region are by Iranian-backed proxies.  It is clear the Iranian regime wants to drive us out of the Middle East. Weak talk and weak action are putting our service members overseas at risk. If Iran doesn’t pay a heavy price after the death of three service members and the wounding of dozens more, then the Biden Administration will be derelict in their duties to protect American personnel in harm’s way.”
