Iran US War Live Updates: US Senator Says Iran Must Not Gain Strategic Leverage Through Deal
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, has expressed scepticism about a potential agreement with Iran if it is based on the assumption that Tehran cannot be prevented from threatening the Strait of Hormuz or striking Gulf energy infrastructure.
In a public statement, Graham argued that such a perception could elevate Iran’s regional influence and create long-term security challenges for Israel and Gulf partners. He questioned whether Iran’s military capabilities are truly beyond deterrence or containment, saying it was essential that policymakers “get this right”.
His remarks come as Washington weighs a proposed framework aimed at ending the conflict and opening the door to broader negotiations with Tehran.
