Sen. Lindsey Graham wants Israel to warn Iran: ‘We’re going to blow up your oil refineries’
NY Post ^ | Aug 25, 2024 | Ryan King

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday pitched a fiery strategy for securing the release of Israeli hostages: threaten to bomb Iran.

Well known for his hawkish foreign policy, Graham (R-SC) implied during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Tehran has the influence needed to entice Hamas into releasing the hostages.

“If I were the state of Israel, I would tell the ayatollah if these people do not come home alive — the ones that are left alive — and if we don’t get the bodies of the fallen, we’re going to blow up your oil refineries,” he said.

“That’s the only way you’re going to get the hostages released — is to put pressure on Iran.”

DC and the EU have given the Palestinians more money than Iran. Maybe that’s where we should start bombing.

Sounds like a good idea to me .

Israel should also tell the Lebanese that if Hezbollah attacks Tel-Aviv they will flatten Beirut

No quarter to the Islamist scum

Bibi Netanyahu:

“Release the hostages, or America will blow up your oil refineries!”

“Did I get that right, Lindsay?”

Loud mouth Lindsay. I think Israel is done with the warnings.

I’m guessing that Israel has already delivered that warning. They don’t need Graham’s loudmouthed advice.

Most likely, the hostages are all dead; hence, Hamas has no bargaining chips left.

First, Israel already told Iran that an attack will cost them their refineries.

As for the hostages, I doubt any are still alive except for a small handful to be traded so any surviving Hamas leaders can go into exile at the end. They are presently begging for a promise from Israel that they will be immune from assassination.

Electing Trump is the only solution. Obama will never threaten Iran and he’s running the Regime through his puppets:

Iran is ALREADY at war with Israel.
This proxy bullsh#t needs to end.
It does no good to fight with the tail of the snake!
The Regime and it’s shadow leader are content to let this go on until hell freezes over. The Regime really does not give a sh#t about the Palestinians or the Syrians or the Lebanese who are in the middle of this Iranian war against Israel.

The missiles come from Iran. So, bomb those that launch the missiles and bomb the missile makers and bomb the oil fields that fund the missile production. The oil is how origin, so, take out the oil first.

You only need to blow up a single target: Kharg Island. Distributes 98.8% of Iran's exports. Can wipe out the terminals with a single IDF fighter-bomber.
