Graham warns against any Iran deal, pushes for regime change

US Senator Lindsey Graham on Friday expressed deep skepticism over potential nuclear talks with Iran, mediated by Oman, warning that any deal would face tough Senate scrutiny regardless of party.

“To any dealmaker regarding Iran: please understand your deal will have to come to the Senate and be tested. When it comes to matters like this, it’s not about a political party to me. I am going ask the hard questions no matter who presents the deal,” he posted on X. “To say I’m suspicious that the ayatollah and his regime will change and keep their word is the biggest understatement in history. I would also caution, beware of anything that comes from Oman.”

“It is clear to me that the best and only long term answer is to stand with the Iranian people and demand regime change,” Graham added.
