Senator Lindsey Graham: “And I talked to the President last night. I just want to say this, I’m so glad he is where he is at. He’s the right guy at the right time. He’s calm as he can be, he’s resolved, he’s steady. I think he’s done a marvelous job of handling this conflict, and I believe the sun is about to set on the Iran nuclear ambitions. They need our help – Israel does – to take out Fordow. They need help from us. I’m hoping the President will provide Israel the help they need to finish the job of the last nuclear site underground. And if we accomplish destroying the Iranian nuclear program, it will be historic for the region and historic for the world. This is a religious Nazi regime, bent on purifying Islam, destroying the Jewish state, and coming after us. They’re religious Nazis, and this regime does not need, nor can they ever have, a nuclear weapon, and Donald Trump is about to put a period on that statement.”
Reporter: “So, Senator, we don’t know for sure, but we believe that the meeting in the Situation Room with the National Security Council may be to decide whether or not the U.S. does dispatch B-2 bombers to take down the enrichment facility at Fordow. You believe firmly that the President should decide in the affirmative on that?”
Lindsey Graham: “Well, I’ve said from the very beginning, it is in our national security interests to make sure Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon. They’re an existential threat to our friends in Israel. They really do mean death to Israel, but they also mean death to America. There’s no doubt in my mind that if the Ayatollah had a nuclear weapon, he would use it to destroy Israel as part of his religious agenda.”
