Republican Senator Lindsey Graham denied on Sunday that the Trump administration needed a plan to ensure that Iran would not continue to be a state sponsor of terrorism following the death of the Ayatollah Khamenei on Saturday in a U.S.-Israeli strike.
One of D.C.’s longest and most vocal proponents of using military force to confront the Iranian government for years, Graham appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday to cheer the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran this weekend which began in the early hours of Saturday morning. The strikes are confirmed to have killed Iran’s supreme leader and dozens of others. Three U.S. service members have been killed since the hostilities erupted and Iran launched a wave of missile attacks across the region in retaliation.
