Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he warned President Trump against targeting Iranian cultural sites — a step the president has repeatedly threatened if Iran retaliates over the death of a top general killed in a U.S. strike.
“I talked to him today. I said we’re not at war with the culture of the Iranian people. ... Cultural sites, religious sites are not lawful targets,” Graham said.
“Putting cultural sites on the table as a military target, I think, undercuts what we're trying to do,” Graham added, recounting his conversation with Trump.

Oh shut up Linda. Trump knows what he is doing. Doesn’t need your warmonger mouth telling him what to do.
Just shut up publicly
Ok so you warned him. Stop right there
Suggestion noted.
“Could” and “Might” are accurate answers, and not contractor to “won’t”.
This is CNN fake news for dimwits who can’t reason.
This is the big issue, you know. ;D
Graham should recognize that when a country’s chief terrorist is a religious leader, then religious sites will necessarily become targets.
Targeting cultural sites is wrong. It was wrong when the Taliban did it and it is still wrong. Military targets, fine.
What an idiot. Who votes for these clowns?
OTOH...anything that even remotely resembles a military installation or a place where any of the bearded 9th Century knuckledraggers who lead that country live,work,or congregate is "good huntin'".
Linda taught Trump how to be a commander in chief.
And Trump warned Irans leading Terrorists that taking shelter in Heritage sites will not keep them alive, as I understand was their plan.
So, let’s just see what he does, he is after all the President.
People who want their country turned into North Mexico, apparently.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has made it abundantly clear that is his goal in life.
Linda, in wartime EVERYTHING is a legitimate target.
The same morons that voted for nikki haley ... stuck on stupid ...
Shut up Linda
Of course the president knows that, stop talking down to this man, he is the President
You need to be tough with Iran, saying religious/culture sites are off limits gives them the reason to use those site for their weapons and materials storage. Heck, they could have their research labs in them knowing we can’t bomb them.
And who is going to stop us? The UN? Screw em

And remember, the target Soli was written off by the necessary parties BEFORE he was taken out.
There it is again! “Top General?”
He was a murdering bastard!
IF the Iranians want to play on the world stage they may have to incur a cost to do so.
Never take any threat off the board.
