3. Exclusive: Lindsey Graham Says Arab States are “Not a Very Good Ally”

Lindsey Graham U.S. Senator (R-South Carolina) and Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said that if Arab countries intervened on Iran’s behalf to block U.S. military action in Tehran, then “they are not a very good ally,” warning that such behavior would call future partnerships into question. He added that he believes “the regimes days are numbered,” stressing, “What we’re facing right now is a moment of decision that will set the course of the mideast for a thousand years,” and arguing that the regime’s fall would cut off support for Hezbollah and Hamas. Separately, James Risch, U.S. Senator (R-Idaho) and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the regime must heed Trump, stating, “When the President says something you need to listen to him becuase he’s a man of action.”
