Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Tuesday urged Israel to consider destroying Iran's oil facilities and to continue striking Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
On Monday, Israeli fighter jets conducted a wave of airstrikes on Yemen's Hudaydah Port, a day after the Houthis, an Iran-backed group, launched a ballistic missile that struck near Israel's main international airport, wounding six.
"To my friends in Israel, do what you have to do to protect your airspace and your people. It is long past time to consider hitting Iran hard. It wouldn't take much to put Iran out of the oil business," Graham tweeted.
Graham's comments follow President Donald Trump's Oval Office announcement on Tuesday that the United States would halt strikes on the Houthis as the group had "agreed to stop interrupting important shipping lanes in the Middle East."
