Congress is divided over the recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, particularly following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Republicans are largely backing the operation, while Democrats are questioning President Trump‘s strategy and pushing for congressional approval.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, made it clear that he thinks it is “not our job” to pick Iran’s next leader, and that the U.S. should not put “boots on the ground” in the region. For Graham, the main goal is to ensure Iran can no longer be the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and he believes removing the supreme leader was a crucial step.
