Graham: US should consider strike on Iranian oil refineries after attack on Saudi Arabia


Graham: US should consider strike on Iranian oil refineries after attack on Saudi Arabia
By Tal Axelrod - 09/14/19 01:57 PM EDT


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a prominent foreign policy hawk, said the U.S. should consider striking Iranian oil refineries in response to new attacks on Saudi oil refineries by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

“It is now time for the U.S. to put on the table an attack on Iranian oil refineries if they continue their provocations or increase nuclear enrichment,” Graham tweeted.

“Iran will not stop their misbehavior until the consequences become more real, like attacking their refineries, which will break the regime’s back,” he added.

A corrupt attempt by Putin,trump, and the prince to use for another pre-election war for profits by them, and Graham is helping to promote it for them by calling for this now. Corruption running wild from trump , and his compromised Republicans .

Helps Putin and will give a reason to drill on every single square acre anywhere in the US there might possibly be oil. Including, but not limited to all national and state parks.

Lindsey has always been Lindsey, a little snivler. It seems to me he went from being a GOP follow along he turned into a real ass kisser to to tRump around the Mueller report time. maybe it's just me. Maybe Putin has something on Lindsey and tRump knows about it.
