Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham is a Republican US Senator who has been a vocal advocate for a hawkish foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran. He is currently newsworthy due to his strong support for the recent US-Israeli strikes against Iran, a conflict he seemingly helped instigate during the Trump administration. Graham has publicly questioned the US defense agreement with Saudi Arabia due to their reluctance to join military operations against Iran. He has also stated the US will profit from the war by gaining control of Iranian oil. Beyond Iran, Graham met with UAE President MBZ amid health rumors and was awarded by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for his support in the Russia-Ukraine war. He is a key figure in discussions about Homeland Security funding, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict with Iran, and his views reflect a significant segment of the Republican party's foreign policy stance.
