Lindsey Graham Compares Possible Iran Ground Operation to Iwo Jima

Lindsey Graham urged President Trump to seize Iran’s Kharg Island and invoked Iwo Jima in discussing a possible U.S. operation; Republican lawmakers criticized his comments. Left-leaning outlets link Graham’s advocacy to the war’s costs and escalation. Center outlets foreground Republican objections to his proposal, troop risks and his role advising Trump. Right-leaning outlets also criticize the proposal, stressing potential casualties and, in opinion pieces, urging restraint or Graham’s replacement.
