Quote of the Day.  Let’s see how Iran responds.  Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging President-elect Donald Trump to go after Iran with force. The target: Tehran’s nuclear program. The country is now a “de facto nuclear threshold state,” and Graham doesn’t believe diplomacy will stop Iran from eventually crossing the threshold. … “There’s a one in trillion chance you’ll degrade the Iranian nuclear program through diplomacy,” Graham told Margaret Brennan on Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “There’s a 90% chance you’ll degrade it through military action by Israel, supported by the United States. So the next topic I will be engaging in with President Trump is to take this moment in time to decimate the Iran nuclear program because they’re so exposed.” … “This is a religious Nazi regime,” Graham told Brennan. “They want to destroy the Jewish state. They want to purify Islam and drive us out of the Mideast. It would be like negotiating with Hitler. I am hoping there will be an effort by Israel to decimate the Iran nuclear program supported by the United States, and, if we don’t do that, it will be a historical mistake.”  See “Lindsey Graham wants military action against Iran’s nuclear program,” Politico, 1-19-25.
