Lap dog Lindsey Graham: Iran will suffer 'massive military attack' Tuesday night without 'capitulation' from Tehran

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday that President Trump’s looming deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz marks a “defining moment” for the conflict and region, warning that Tehran will face a “massive military attack” if it does not agree to U.S. demands.

“This time tomorrow night, we’re going to have one or two scenarios: capitulation of [Iran’s] desire to rain terror on the world through diplomacy, or we’re going to have a massive military attack, destroying the regime’s capability to ever wage war again,” Graham told Fox News.

The South Carolina Republican, one of the most vocal congressional supporters of Operation Epic Fury, emphasized that any peace deal must ensure Iran can no longer exercise control over the vital shipping lane and eliminate the regime’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

“There can’t be one ounce of this 60 percent grade uranium left in Iran,” he said, suggesting the Islamic Republic currently has enough to make “eight or 10” nuclear bombs.

Don't the American people deserve to know that our government is demanding?

Trump says he wants to steal all the oil. Is that one of the 15 points? What are the other 14?

It can't be something simple like he's gay. Hardly anyone would care. Whatever he has on Graham truly must be hideous.

Of course, Graham may have just lost his mind. That would explain his recent babbling.

John McCain used to be his shark, and when McCain died he didn't have a strong, powerful alpha male to latch onto. This isn't because he's gay (which he probably is but nobody really cares any more) but because he's a weak person who can't feel powerful and important on his own. McCain was the war hero, the former POW with a commanding personality. People admired him. Graham was also former military but he was just a JAG, a REMF with no combat experience. He became McCain's wing man in order to bask in his reflected glory. But when McC died Graham had nothing but what he probably considered to be his own nothingburgerness. But Trump has a knack for finding weak people to use, so he quickly invited Graham to a few rounds of golf, made a buddy of him, and the rest is history.

Iran still has a large percentage of its drones and missiles and can inflict a great deal of damage on our Gulf allies.

Iran responded to President Donald Trump’s looming threat Tuesday with a threat of their own: to lift all “self-restraint” by launching a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and deprive the United States “of the region’s oil and gas for years.”

“Our self-restraint has come to an end,” reads a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran’s military apparatus, as reported by the Kurdish news outlet Kurdistan 24.

“America’s partners in the region must know that until today, we have restrained ourselves for the sake of good neighborliness… however, we are now lifting the immunity provided by our previous tolerance. Our focus will be solely on the targets and on seeking revenge.”

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran lift restrictions for U.S.-aligned vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade flows. Amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks, Iran has refused, and in mid-March, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to re-open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power plants.

Iran has published a list of targets to hit if trump carries out his threat
