Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has issued a stark warning, asserting that President Donald Trump will target Ayatollah Ali Khamenei if Iran's regime persists in its oppressive actions against demonstrators.
Graham, known for his hawkish stance on foreign policy, lauded Trump as "the greatest president of all time.".
As reported by Mediaite, recent developments have seen U.S. forces entering Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, who, along with his spouse, faced arraignment in a New York federal court on drug trafficking charges, to which they pleaded not guilty. In the interim, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has assumed the role of interim President. President Trump has set forth conditions for Rodriguez, threatening a "second wave" of intervention should these demands not be met.
Among these stipulations is the requirement for U.S. oil companies to revitalize Venezuela's energy sector, with potential reimbursement from the U.S. government.
Graham, appearing on Fox News, reiterated his support for Trump's decisive actions in Venezuela, once again extolling the president's leadership. "If you defy [Trump], if youre one of the holdovers and you try to undercut him, what happened to Maduro is gonna happen to you," Graham declared.
He expressed optimism for a future where Venezuela holds free and fair elections, resulting in leaders who align with U.S. interests, noting, "The dictator, the thug is in jail in New York."
The senator's praise for Trump extended beyond Venezuela, highlighting domestic achievements such as tax cuts and reduced spending. "Donald J. Trump, in my view, is the greatest president of all time," Graham stated, emphasizing the administration's success in combating narcoterrorism. He also predicted the imminent collapse of Cuba's communist regime, asserting, "Cuba is on death watch. Cuba depends on Russia and Venezuela. Both of them are in a box."
Turning his attention to Iran, Graham addressed the ongoing protests, which have resulted in at least 36 fatalities over the past ten days. He assured the Iranian people of U.S. support, contrasting Trump's approach with that of his predecessor, Barack Obama. "We support you. Donald J. Trump is not Barack Obama. He has your back," Graham affirmed.
He issued a dire warning to the Ayatollah, stating, "if you keep killing your people who are demanding a better life, Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you."
Graham's remarks underscore a broader narrative of impending change in Iran, suggesting a transformative shift in the Middle East. "Change is coming to Iran. Itll be the biggest change in the history of the Middle East to get rid of this Nazi regime," he proclaimed, offering hope to the Iranian populace with the assurance that "help is on the way."
