In a recent news conference, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham emphasized the importance of a strong response from the United States following the recent Iranian-backed terror attack in Jordan, which resulted in the death of three American service members and numerous injuries. Graham expressed disappointment in President Joe Biden's lack of action, noting that Iran was emboldened due to the administration's failure to respond to previous attacks.
Graham pointed to the successful deterrence achieved by the previous administration under President Donald Trump, highlighting the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which generated fear among Iranian leadership. He urged President Biden to take decisive action by targeting Iran's oil infrastructure, a move that would hit them in the wallet and create a sense of fear.
