"Graham said he told Trump that to permanently incapacitate Iran, he needed to take Kharg Island, where they have all of the resources they have to produce oil."
"I trust the Marines, not that guy, Graham said of The Atlantic writer. I trust DOD. We've got two marine expeditionary area units sailing to this island."
"The day we control that island, this regime, this terrorist regime, has been weakened and it will die on a vine, Graham said."
"I don't know if you take the island or you blockade the island, but I know this: The day we control that island, this regime has been weakened."
Sen. Lindsey Graham proposed that the U.S. should seize Kharg Island, crucial for Iran's oil exports. President Trump previously mentioned avoiding destruction of the island's oil infrastructure but warned of reconsideration if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is threatened. Graham emphasized the need to incapacitate Iran by controlling Kharg Island, asserting that U.S. Marines are capable of executing this operation. He expressed confidence in the military's ability to weaken the Iranian regime significantly through this action.
