Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Axios on Saturday that several people around President Trump are advising him not to bomb Iran. Graham urged the president to ignore them.

Why it matters: With two aircraft carriers and hundreds of warplanes preparing for what could be a major military operation, top Trump advisers tell Axios that the president still hasn't made up his mind.

He has been presented with military options that include killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son.

But his team is also showing some limited flexibility in talks with Iran. A senior official told Axios the U.S. would consider an Iranian proposal that includes some "token" uranium enrichment if it ensures there is no path to a bomb.

Between the lines: Graham, who is close to Trump, is leading the pro-strike camp in Trump's orbit.

Graham visited the Middle East earlier this week and discussed Iran with the leaders of Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
