Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and delivered a strong message to President Trump: target Iran’s energy infrastructure to increase pressure on the regime. Graham argued that hitting Iran harder could finally force them to accept a deal, especially after they have rejected U.S. terms following the successful US-Israel Operation Epic Fury that eliminated Supreme Leader Khamenei. This comes amid ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and a fragile ceasefire that remains shaky as of mid-May 2026.
