Lindsey Graham Says Wants Diplomacy To Succeed But If Iran Tests The US 'We Will Obliterate Them' — John

Sen.

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the U.S. could seize control of the Strait of Hormuz and "obliterate" Iran if diplomacy fails under a future Trump-led foreign policy scenario.

Graham Warns On Iran, Hormuz Control On Sunday, in a post on X alongside a clip from his Face the Nation interview, Graham wrote, "We want diplomacy to succeed.

But if Iran tries to test us, we will obliterate them." In the interview, Graham said, "If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force," Graham said.

"The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz." Graham also predicted expansion of the Abraham Accords, saying Saudi Arabia could join in 2026, and warned that continued Iranian attacks linked to groups such as Hezbollah could trigger direct U.S. strikes on Iran.
