Republican Senator Lindsey Graham offered rare public criticism of Israel after reports that Israeli strikes targeted parts of Iran�s oil infrastructure over the weekend.

In a series of posts, Graham praised Israel�s military capabilities but urged caution in selecting targets as the war with Iran continues.

�Our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative,� Graham wrote.

�However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah�s regime.�

Graham warned that destroying Iran�s oil economy could harm the country�s ability to rebuild once the current regime collapses.

�In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses,� he wrote.

�The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor.�

According to reports, the Trump Administration was also angered by the strikes on Iran�s oil fields, which Israeli officials say were being used by the Islamic Republic�s military forces.

Israeli officials have maintained that the targeted facilities were connected to the regime�s military and financial infrastructure supporting its war effort.
