In a recent interview with Fox News, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham openly called for bombing Iran in retaliation to the Yemeni operations against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships in the Red Sea. 

Entertaining the proxy narrative that strips regional Resistance movements of any agency, Graham contended that Iran was behind the operations against US occupation military bases in Iraq and Syria as well as operations in the Red Sea. 

“I have been saying for six months now: Hit Iran,” Graham said. “They have oil fields out in the open, they have the Revolutionary Guard headquarters you can see from space. Blow it off the map.”

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Senator Lindsey Graham demands the US: "Hit Iran — blow it off the map."

Graham argued that the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations are completely backed by Iran, and thus Iran should be targeted directly. 

On Iraq and Syria, Graham accused Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of showing “weakness” and “failing our troops in the field” by not retaliating more forcefully.
