Sen. Lindsey Graham suggests U.S. action on Iran may be imminent

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said a U.S. action on Iran could happen soon, as President Donald Trump said the administration is reviewing military options following reports of protesters being killed during escalating unrest in Iran.

Speaking Sunday night at a fundraising event, Graham said he cut his remarks short because events could be imminent. “I don’t know what, but this might be the night,” he said, referring to possible U.S. action. “It’s just a matter of time now.”

“This tyrannical regime needs to end,” Graham added. “We need to end this for the good people of Iran, for ourselves, and for the people of Israel.” He said Iran’s leadership “needs to go,” adding, “If we could pull this off, it’d be the biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years.”

Earlier Sunday, Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One, saying the administration was closely monitoring reports of deaths linked to protests.

“There seem to be some people killed who aren’t supposed to be killed,” Trump said. “We’re looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it, we’re looking at some very strong options, and we’ll make a determination.”

“I’m getting an hourly report, and we’re going to make a determination,” Trump added. “Some of the protesters were killed through stampeding. There are so many of them. Some of them were shot. People have been shot, and we’re looking at it.”

The comments come amid repeated warnings from Trump that the United States would consider striking Iran if protesters were killed.

The protests began in late December and have escalated in recent days, with large demonstrations reported in multiple cities, including Tehran. Witnesses contacted by media outlets have reported hundreds of deaths as a result of a crackdown by Iranian forces.
