## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham warns that if diplomacy with Iran collapses within the 60-day window, the U.S. could seize control of the Strait of Hormuz, charge tolls, and expand the Abraham Accords — with a blunt threat to “obliterate” Iran if it resists. He sees regional shifts, like Gulf allies funding Iran’s reconstruction, as signs of change but doubts it’ll reshape Tehran’s behavior. Still, he insists diplomacy remains the preferred first step — even as he prepares for a far more aggressive alternative. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
