Graham: U.S. Strikes on Iran Failed to Deter, National Security 'in Freefall'
-
Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized the US strikes against Iran, saying they have failed to deter Iran and we "gave them a week's notice" to evacuate targets.
-
The US carried out two sets of retaliatory strikes in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen against Iranian-backed militias after recent attacks killed and injured US soldiers.
-
Graham said "our national security is in freefall," fretting over events in Afghanistan, Europe, Israel, and now Iran as signs US deterrence is not working.
-
Graham hopes any additional US strikes "really will hurt Iran in their pocketbook or kill their leadership."
-
Graham commented on the border security deal in Congress, hoping Speaker Kevin McCarthy will consider the substance of the bipartisan Senate proposal.
