🚨Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told me that some regional leaders pressed President Trump to attack Iran in order to weaken the regime and secure a deal on better terms
🚨On the other hand, he said, other leaders in the region and some of the president's senior advisors pressed him to accept the deal currently on the table
🚨According to him, those same voices claimed that it is impossible to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian influence, and that if Iran is attacked, it has the capability to destroy a significant portion of the oil infrastructure in the Gulf
🚨"Count me as a big skeptic regarding the claim that Iran can't be prevented from unleashing terror in the Strait of Hormuz and that we can't protect vital interests in the region after massive attacks against Iran. If they are indeed completely destroyed, they shouldn't be able to do any of these things," he said. "Time will tell. I'm still hoping for a good outcome"
