Senator Lindsey Graham has said the U.S. conflict with Iran will be a complete “mistake” if the current Iranian regime is still in power when it ends. He made this statement during a television appearance, where he also made several promises and threats that are normally handled by the White House.
During his Monday night appearance, Graham offered Saudi Arabia a “mutual defense agreement” against Iran: an unusual move for a senator. According to Mediaite, he said the U.S. would go to war if Saudi Arabia were attacked by Iran, offering “protection in perpetuity.” He also challenged Saudi Arabia directly: “To Saudi Arabia, our embassy was hit in Riyadh, do you not have an obligation to join the fight with us? You have to do that.”
