Graham’s views on Iran war come under attack from Republicans

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is facing criticism from fellow Republicans over his public stance on Iran policy amid escalating tensions under the Trump administration. Graham, a longtime defense hawk and close Trump ally, has become a focal point of attack from a faction of the GOP concerned about further military escalation in Iran. The criticism reflects a broader divide within Republican ranks over the scope and direction of Trump's Iran strategy. Graham's hawkish posture—historically aligned with military intervention—now puts him at odds with Republicans who view additional escalation as risky or unnecessary. The clash underscores tensions within the party as Trump shapes foreign policy in his second term.
