Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Axios on Saturday that several people close to President Trump are advising him not to strike Iran.

Graham, who heads the pro-strike camp, added that he is urging Trump to ignore the naysayers.

“I understand concerns about major military operations in the Middle East given past entanglements,” Graham explained. “However, the voices who counsel against getting entangled seem to ignore the consequences of letting evil go unchecked.”

Graham added that after his recent trip to the Middle East, he feels that there is currently an opportunity to bring about historic change in Iran.

“But it’s increasingly clear to me that voices opposing entanglement and the risk associated with decisive action are getting louder,” Grahama added. “Time will tell as to how this plays out.”

“I have a lot of respect for President Trump. He is his own man. And as with all presidents, he will be held responsible for his decisions on such weighty matters. As to me, history will be very clear as to where I stood, for better or worse.”
