Lindsey Graham’s Foreign Policy Stance
On March 8, 2026, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina articulated his support for US military intervention in Iran and Cuba. Graham emphasized the potential for significant economic gains, stating that the US could make a “tonne of money” from military actions in Iran, a country he claims is in its “death throes” and will soon collapse.
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Graham pointed out that Venezuela and Iran together hold 31% of the world’s oil reserves, underscoring the strategic importance of these nations in global energy markets. He stated, “We’re going to blow the hell out of these people,” reflecting a hawkish stance on US military operations.
Graham’s comments come in the context of ongoing tensions in the region, where he has also criticized Israel‘s strikes on Iranian oil facilities, urging caution in their target selection. He believes that the fall of the Iranian regime will lead to unprecedented peace and prosperity, asserting, “This regime is in a death throes now, it is gonna be on its knees, it’s going to fall, and when it falls we’re going to have peace like no other time.”
In his remarks, Graham also praised former President Donald Trump, stating, “Donald J. Trump saved the world from real chaos… Thank God Trump did this,” indicating a belief that Trump’s policies laid the groundwork for current US foreign engagements.
As the situation in Iran continues to evolve, observers are closely monitoring the implications of Graham’s statements for US foreign policy and military strategy in the region. With an estimated death toll of 300 in southern Beirut due to ongoing conflict, the stakes remain high for US intervention.
Graham concluded with a call to action regarding Cuba, stating, “Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us,” suggesting that he views US involvement in the region as both imminent and necessary.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific plans for US military actions in Iran and Cuba, but Graham’s remarks indicate a clear intent to pursue aggressive foreign policy measures in these areas.
