Lindsey Graham

Graham, 71, was a prominent Republican senator from South Carolina. Earlier in his career, he was a vocal critic of US President Donald Trump before becoming one of his most loyal allies.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that the US will reach a deal in its own interests with Iran, even if Israel disagrees or opposes it.

Gulf countries tend to be cautious, and they care about protocol, respect, and ceremony - they don’t want to be seen as being used. They want to feel like partners.

Additionally, sources familiar with the matter say the White House has asked Republican congresspeople to post messages on social media supporting the emerging agreement with Iran.

According to US officials, Trump prefers to negotiate with Iran in order to end its nuclear ambitions, rather than begin a new round of bombing.

The South Carolina Republican described the discussion's focus as "the way forward regarding the Iran conflict," while also warning countries against assisting Iran's oil distribution efforts.

His lastest show, 'War Update: Israel’s True Motives, Potential False Flags, and Oncoming Global Crisis,' contained some rather unique commentary.

"There will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah’s regime,” Graham said.

In a post on X on Sunday, Graham praised Israel for its role in the war before adding that “there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate."

US negotiators will meet Iran in Geneva on Thursday for a new round of nuclear talks, with significant gaps remaining over enrichment limits and Trump's "zero enrichment" stance.
