Lindsey Graham: U.S. Needs To Support Israel If It Decides To Strike Iran Nuclear Facilities

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said over the weekend that the U.S. needs to be ready to support Israel if it decides that it is time to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program.

Graham made the remarks on “Fox News Sunday” as the Islamic regime continues to inch closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon.

“We’re trying to define the world in which we live in accurately,” Graham said. “Senator Fetterman has been a champion for the State of Israel.”

“I went to him and asked him, would you work with me to do a census Senate resolution saying that over decades, Iran has been trying to acquire a nuclear weapon, not a nuclear power plant, that they’re the largest state sponsor of terrorism, that they would blow Israel off the map if they had a nuclear weapon, that they would come after us?” he continued. “And he said, I would be glad to.”

“So what this resolution does, it lays out the case against Iran’s nuclear ambition,” Graham said. “Bibi and the Israelis are going to have to make a decision relatively soon what to do about the Iran nuclear program.”

“This is not an authorization to use force, but I am here to tell you and the audience and the world that I think America should support an effort by Israel if they decide to decimate the Iranian nuclear program, because I think it’s a threat to mankind,” he added.

America should unequivocally support Israel if they decide to decimate the Iranian regime’s nuclear program.

If the ayatollah were to obtain a nuclear weapon, it would be a threat to mankind. All options should be on the table to prevent that. pic.twitter.com/fqFQKB7OsM
