"On March 22, Graham implored President Trump to send U.S. forces to seize Kharg Island, stating, 'Control that island. Let this regime die on a vine.'"
"On Monday, Graham stated, 'I'm not a real advocate of taking Kharg Island. I think we oughta tell the Iranians we will destroy it from the air.'"
"'Victory to me would be regaining freedom of navigation of the Strait of Hormuz, degrading a little bit further short big strong response, degrade their military capability a bit further.'"
"'We did Iwo Jima, we can do this. The Marines, my money's always on the Marines.'"
Sen. Lindsey Graham changed his position on Kharg Island, previously advocating for its seizure to control Iran's oil exports. He now suggests airstrikes instead. Graham believes this approach will prevent Iran from becoming a major state sponsor of terrorism and will degrade their military capabilities. He emphasizes the importance of regaining freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and aims to bring Israel and Saudi Arabia back to the peace table. The U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran has intensified amid ongoing tensions in the region.
