Graham suggests Trump ‘help’ Iran protesters with ‘military, cyber and psychological attacks’ against regime

Sen.Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Tuesday suggested that the “meat and bones” of President Donald Trump’s message of “help” to Iran’s anti-regime demonstrators should include “military, cyber and psychological attacks” against the regime.

Graham issued the message in a post on X,describing Trumpas “Reagan Plus” and “certainly not Obama” when it comes to protecting America’s national security interests.

“There is no bigger threat to world order than the Iranian ayatollah’s religious Nazi regime that wantonly kills its people, supports international terrorism and has American blood on its hands,” Graham wrote.“The death blow to the ayatollah is going to be a combination of the incredible patriotic bravery of the protestors, and decisive action by President Trump.The protestors go to the streets unarmed, risking their lives because they believe President Trump has their backs.”

Graham wrote that the “tipping point” will be Trump’s “resolve.”

“No boots on the ground, but unleashing holy hell – as he promised – on the regime that has trampled every red line,” the senator wrote.“A massive wave of military, cyber and psychological attacks is the meat and bones of ‘help is on the way.’”

Graham said he would want to destroy the regime’s infrastructure that allows the killing of theIranian people, and to “take down” the leaders responsible for the killing.
