"The Houthis are fully supported by Iran “ I've been saying for six months now... strike Iran.They have oil fields in the open, they have the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards that you can see from space. Remove them from the map."Graham continued:"If you really want to protect American soldiers, make it realistic for the Ayatollah [if] you attack a soldier through a proxy, we are going after you.
Graham's comments come in the wake of attacks by Iran-backed militias on U.S. forces in the region. According to Newsweek magazine, there have been more than 100 attacks on troops in Iraq and Syria this year.
This is not the first time Graham has called for an urgent escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. In October, the senator from South Carolina called on the United States to escalate the war between Israel and Hamas by launching an urgent attack on various enemies in the Middle East, including Hamas and Iran, and dragging Russia and China into the war. Graham explained that peace in the world will be achieved only if the United States treats the conflict as another World War.
In an appearance on CNN on Tuesday, Graham claimed that the threat posed by Hamas would require a comprehensive approach on the part of the United States, which he likened to the way Hitler was defeated to end World War II. According to Graham, the United States is responsible for leading this military action. "It will take the destruction of Hamas like we destroyed the Third Reich and the reoccupation to get a new generation of people who really believe in peace. As long as Iran is not reined in, nothing will change,”he said.
