Senator Graham urges Saudi Arabia, UAE to join US against Iran

Senator Lindsey Graham said on Monday in a Fox News interview that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates should honor commitments to support the US if Iran attacks.

"Here's what I want to say to Saudi Arabia tonight, I'm willing to do a mutual defense agreement with your country to give you protection and perpetuity under the agreement I've been pushing, and I hope we can continue to talk about, if you're attacked by Iran, we would go to war for you to Saudi Arabia," Graham said.

"Our embassy was hit in Riyadh. Do you not have an obligation to join the fight with us? You've yet to do that. So if you do not believe the American Embassy being attacked in Riyadh would trigger mutual self defense. Maybe we shouldn't do a treaty with you," he added.
