Arming the Iranian Opposition Faied, Lindsey Graham Wants the U.S. to Do It Again to 'Turn the Tide of Battle'
- South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham urged President Donald Trump on Monday to arm Iranian citizens, proposing a "Second Amendment solution" to help topple the theocratic regime in Tehran during a Fox News appearance.
- President Trump admitted on Sunday that previous attempts to funnel weapons through Kurdish fighters failed, alleging the Kurds stole 90% of the arms, prompting Graham to insist on direct delivery to Iranian citizens.
- Graham defined victory as regaining navigation of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested threatening Kharg Island with destruction from the air, a conflict that has cost at least 13 U.S. service members and up to $50 billion.
- Former chess champion Garry Kasparov labeled the strategy a "bizarre definition of victory," while journalist and law professor Scott Horton argued the goal merely seeks to restore pre-war conditions rather than achieve actual regime change.
- Amid a tenuous ceasefire, the U.S. and Iran continue exchanging fire in the Strait of Hormuz, where restricted travel has sent Brent crude futures soaring to around $114 a barrel since the war began on Feb. 28.
