Graham: $300 Billion Payoff To Iranians Okay If Arabs Do It
Lindsey Graham twisted himself in knots defending his flip flop on Trump's MOU with Iran and, of course, was all-in with Trump's latest threat to have the military seize control of the Strait of Hormuz if the deal falls apart.

Lindsey Graham twisted himself in knots defending his flip flop on Trump's MOU with Iran and, of course was all-in with Trump's latest threat to have the military seize control of the Strait of Hormuz if the deal falls apart.
Graham was asked about his evolving position now that Trump signed the so-called "agreement" and his excuse was basically, it's perfectly fine to give money to the Iranian regime as long as it's the Arabs doing it:
BRENNAN: There's a lot that still hasn't been figured out here in this deal, but you wrote nine days ago the idea of a US plan with partners to create a fund of at least $300 billion- this is point six in the memorandum- is "tone deaf," and it's "akin to a Marshall Plan for Germany with the Nazis still in charge." Why did you change your position--..................
................
GRAHAM: We're going to run it. We're going to try to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords to end the Arab-Israeli conflict in 2026, and if Iran continues to attack Israel and Lebanon, the new policy will be, we'll hit Iran. So, to the Iranians, if you're listening, when you use Hezbollah to attack Israel, I think the new policy will be, we will attack Iran.
