Lindsey Graham on Iran deal: ‘I think it’s going to fail’
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he thinks the tentative deal between the U.S. and Iran will fail.
“If you don’t have a diplomatic path through the MOU, then you have to go to war, or some other form of coercion,” Graham told “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, referring to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between both countries.
“Let’s try this, let’s try a diplomatic solution,” he added. “I think it’s going to fail.”
Graham suggested that if the deal fails, President Trump “is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force” and charge a fee. He spoke directly to Iran’s government and warned that the U.S. will “hit” their country “if Iran continues to attack Israel in Lebanon.”
“When you use Hezbollah to attack Israel, I think the new policy will be, ‘We will attack Iran,’” the senator continued.
