Graham Pushes 'Any Means Necessary' Response to Iran, Questions Gulf Ties After Reported Plea

Graham’s warning followed an AFP report that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman urged President Trump to give Iran a chance.

Overview

  • The South Carolina senator called for a large campaign of military, cyber and psychological attacks without deploying U.S. ground forces.
  • He said headlines about Arab allies discouraging strikes were "beyond disturbing" and warned he would rethink alliances if the report proved accurate.
  • Graham urged destroying infrastructure enabling the crackdown in Iran and targeting leaders he says are responsible for the killings.
  • President Trump has publicly encouraged protesters, canceled meetings with Iranian officials and has not ruled out strikes.
  • Iran Human Rights estimates nearly 3,500 protesters have been killed, while Graham contends the death toll is rising despite claims the killings stopped.
