Newsweek: Lindsey Graham Warns of Iran Nuclear Bombs: 'They'll Come After Us'

Newsweek - Lindsey Graham Warns of Iran Nuclear Bombs: 'They'll Come After Us'

Published Apr 09, 2025 at 10:59 AM EDT

U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has claimed that Iran is "very close to assembling six nuclear bombs," saying Tehran would soon target Israel and the United States.

"They will kill Israel. They'll come after us," Graham told the Fox News Sean Hannity show, Hannity.

Newsweek has reached out Senator Graham and Iran's foreign ministry for comment

Why It Matters
Graham's remarks raise concerns about the potential escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran, especially as the two nations are scheduled to hold crucial talks in Oman on Saturday.

These negotiations could significantly influence the future of nuclear diplomacy in the Middle East. Graham's claim, for which he did not provide evidence, adds to the already heated rhetoric surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Someone else HAS to know what TSF has on this guy. PLEASE LEAK IT!

Republicans are ready to cheer lead an attack against Iran. Netanyahu's dream comes into focus.

God help us!

Bibi visits, now it's time to get Iran. I suppose the plan is already drawn up. B2s at Diego Garcia, etc. The anti-war POTUS is nothing of the sort.

By the time trump is ready to bomb them a large sector of this country will be more than ready. Repeat of the Gulf War and weapons of mass destruction.It worked pretty well then, I suspect it will work well this time also. Damn, I really wanted to enjoy my retirement years.
