Sen. Lindsey Graham Urges World to Keep Eyes on Iran Amid Ukraine Crisis
JERUSALEM, Israel – While the possible Russian invasion of Ukraine is getting the headlines, one US senator says it’s important to pay close attention to Iran.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) came to Jerusalem to learn more from Israeli officials about how close Iran is to a nuclear weapon.
“I don't know how close they are, but after being briefed, I’m more nervous than I was before I came. And I’m going to go back home to our intel officials, compare notes and see if we can get the Biden administration to work with Republicans and Democrats and the Israelis to clearly articulate what we mean when we say no weapon," Graham tells CBN News.
Graham wants Israel and the US to be fully unified when it comes to drawing lines in the sand with Iran.
“Israel says it's unacceptable for them to have nuclear capability. America says a nuclear weapon. So, what's the difference? There is a difference. So, the purpose here is to establish red lines. To let the Iranians know in the area of weaponization, enrichment and missile technology, what would be red lines if you crossed? All bets are off. I think the world would be a safer place if we could provide clarity to the Iranian regime as to what we mean by you can't have a nuclear weapon.”
This threat combined with other international issues come at a time when America is perceived as weak especially by its enemies.
