Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) issued a stark warning to Iran, cautioning them against further escalation of the ongoing conflict in Israel. Graham's message came in the wake of aftermath of an unprecedented and deadly attack by Hamas on Israel, which has led to a rising death toll and increased tensions in the region.
Sen. Lindsey Graham has delivered a warning to Iran, stating that if the conflict in Israel escalates, the US will not hesitate to take action. Graham's stern message was prompted by Hamas's recent assault on Israel, which resulted in more than 1,300 lives lost in both Israel and Gaza. He claimed that Israel's primary objective is to eradicate Hamas in the southern region while safeguarding innocent Palestinians.
"If Hezbollah, which is a proxy of Iran, launches a massive attack on Israel, I would consider that a threat to the State of Israel, existential in nature... Iran, if you escalate this war, we’re coming for you." declared Graham, appearing on US media air.
He further revealed his intention to introduce a Senate resolution that would permit joint military action by the US and Israel to target Iran's oil business if they escalate the conflict.
