Sen. Lindsey Graham urged Trump to back Iran’s protesters, calling the regime’s fall a potential shift as big as the Berlin Wall’s collapse.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Sunday that the Iran situation is “the defining moment” in President Donald Trump’s presidency.
“Ronald Reagan went to the Berlin Wall and he said, ‘Tear down this wall.’ He didn’t say, ‘Could you make it lower.’ When asked about what the protesters should do, President Trump said, ‘Keep protesting, help is on the way,’” the lawmaker explained in an interview with Fox News.
Graham predicted “a hundred years of chaos” if the Iranian regime is still standing “the day after, if we pull the plug,” adding that he has “every confidence” that the president will fulfill his promise to the Iranian people.
“If this regime falls, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis—they all go. It’d be the biggest change since the fall of the Berlin Wall,” the senator said, calling Trump “Ronald Reagan plus” while warning that “the one thing you can’t do as president [is] talk like Reagan and act like Obama.
