Sen. Lindsey Graham backed President Donald Trump’s diplomatic effort to end the Iran conflict after a phone call, while also supporting Trump’s warning of attacks on Iranian infrastructure if no deal is reached.
Graham said he supported diplomatic efforts to end the conflict if they were consistent with U.S. military objectives. He also backed Trump’s warning about consequences for Iran if it did not accept a peace deal, and urged Trump to wind down the war while pursuing an agreement.
Trump had said his administration was in discussions with a new Iranian regime and threatened to target Iran’s power plants, oil wells and desalination plants if a deal was not reached soon. The article also describes Graham as a vocal supporter of the military operation, including calls for regime change and the seizure of Kharg Island.
