Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) pressed President Trump for a short but forceful response to Iran as peace talks stay stuck at a standstill.
I have every confidence that President Trump fully understands the situation with Iran and will not continue to tolerate a refusal to negotiate in good faith along with Iran s defiant aggression in the Strait of Hormuz and throughout the region, Graham wrote Monday morning on the social platform X.
It is abundantly clear to me that Iran has been very weakened militarily and economically. But at the same time, they have become more emboldened and aggressive. A short but forceful response now would reset the conflict in all the right ways.
