Sen. Lindsey Graham warns ALL ISRAEL NEWS that IDF may have to launch preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities soon
Biden’s refusal to get tough with Tehran is forcing Israel into a “nightmare” scenario, Graham said, adding, “I’ve never been more worried about Israel having to use military force than I am right now.”

WASHINGTON – Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the most respected foreign and defense policy experts in Washington, fears a new war may be coming to the Middle East sooner than most people realize.
In a phone interview with me yesterday, the South Carolina Republican explained that the “Iranians are progressing at a very dangerous pace” with their uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons development program.
The problem, he said, is that the Biden administration and international community are not doing nearly enough to stop them.
As a result, Graham said, Israel is in a very difficult position and may need to take preemptive military action on its own.
“There are certain red lines that Israel will not allow Iran to cross,” Graham told me. “And I’ve never been more worried about those red lines being crossed than I am right now.”
Before leaving office, then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear to Washington that “we will make our own decisions about an existential threat coming from a nuclear armed Iran,” Graham noted.
The senator said he likes new Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and believes his position on the Iran threat is the same as Netanyahu’s.
But, he said, the test for Bennett is coming. If the Biden administration keeps pursuing an updated version of the flawed Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and the mullahs keep getting closer and closer to weapons grade uranium, Bennett and his colleagues may have no choice but to use military force.
“That’s a nightmare for Israel,” Graham said.
