Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a longtime Iran hawk, said that he agrees with President Donald Trump’s assessment that Iran’s military has been significantly degraded by U.S. strikes against the country, rebuffing claims that Tehran has become stronger after a memorandum of understanding was hashed out between the two countries this week.
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7 or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded,” Graham wrote in a statement posted to X on Friday.
