Top U.S. Senators Warn Military Will Strike Iran Under Two Conditions
Daily Wire ^ | Nov 5, 2023 | Staff

Posted on 11/06/2023 8:34:51 AM PST by Red Badger

Top U.S. Senators said over the weekend that they are introducing a bipartisan resolution calling for military strikes against Iran if its terror proxies in the Middle East kill any U.S. soldiers or if Hezbollah opens up a second front against Israel.

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) made the remarks during a CNN interview Sunday morning with Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

The segment comes after Hamas murdered 1,400 Israelis in an unprecedented terrorist attack last month and Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, has conducted small scale attacks against Israel as it weighs whether to launch a full-scale attack.

“It basically says, if the war expands, if Hezbollah opens up a second front in the north against Israel in a substantial way to overwhelm Iron Dome, then we should hit the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Graham said. “There is no Hamas without the Ayatollahs’ support. There is no Hezbollah without the Ayatollahs’ support. The great Satan in the region is not Israel or the United States. It’s Iran.”

Graham said that he and Blumenthal just came back from the region and that Israel had begged them to deter Iran from entering the war as they deal with wiping out the Hamas terrorist organization inside Gaza.

“If any of our troops are killed in Syria and Iraq by Iranian-backed militias, I think that’s an expansion of the war,” Graham said. “So, the resolution puts Iran on notice that all this military force in the region will be coming after you if you expand this war by activating Hezbollah or killing an American through your proxies in Syria and Iraq. And they need to hear that. They need to believe that.”

Graham’s remarks come after there have been at least 31 attacks from Iranian-backed terrorists on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria over the last two weeks, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Summary, a RINO and a DemocRAT senator want to get us into a war. To which we say, “War, very dangerous. You go first. Especially with your woke LGBTXwhatever military. We’ll watch.

Lindsey tries way too hard to seem tough. It’s not working.

Says a sad thing about this country that these two warmonger fools are called “top Senators”. Both are repulsive and need to be kicked out.

It’s the US Senate.

If it wants to strike Iran, it can declare war.

Nice to know the 2 biggest pieces of $**t to ever grace the capitol are deciding our nuclear future and who my daughter’s enemies will be.

They’ve already bankrupted her generation.

These people need to be DRAGGED.

Can we fight a war against Russia, China and Iran all at the same time?

Good news—the military contractors will make billions.

Sure am glad we gave away all our munitions to a war that didn’t involve us so we could go into a world war with empty armories. If only we still had all that gear we left for the Taliban, that could have come in handy. Good work, Brandon!

“Summary, a RINO and a DemocRAT senator want to get us into a war. “

Bribery, kick-backs, campaign donations.

“‘dick’ and ‘linda’ top senators?”

No kidding. Well, since Feinstein croaked and you are up against Fetterman, it is not so hard to rise to the top.

Take all the people in Gaza and ship them to Iran.

Lots of room in Iran.

Lots of sympathetic Moslems in Iran.

Lots of American Taxpayer dollars in Iran thanks to traitor Democrats.

These two bedfellows are not surprising. They’re both a danger to the health of this faltering republic.
