Senator Lindsey Graham, who represents South Carolina in the U.S. Senate and served as a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves for 33 years, has voiced strong support for former President Donald Trump’s stance on Iran’s nuclear program through a series of posts on his social media account.
On April 8, 2026, Graham stated, “President @realDonaldTrump is right to have a red line when it comes to Iran enriching uranium. Iran has a proven history of cheating, and I’m proud our President is standing firm for our safety.”
In another post dated April 9, 2026, he wrote, “President @realDonaldTrump understood what past leaders ignored: Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.”
Shortly after, Graham added, “President Trump has drawn clear lines in the sand and rightfully so. For too long, the Iranian regime threatened our safety. Thanks to @POTUS, that era will be over soon.”
