Senator Lindsey Graham has urged President Donald Trump to reject a key Iranian demand during ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, which he described as a 'poison pill.' This demand involves halting Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, a condition that Iran insists upon. Graham expressed his support for Trump's stance to open the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate an end to Iran's nuclear ambitions. He highlighted the ongoing conflict, noting that over 3,100 Lebanese have been killed by Israeli airstrikes since early March, with nearly 10,000 injured. Graham emphasized that any ceasefire with Hezbollah could allow the group to re-arm and pose a greater threat to Israel. He firmly stated that there should be no linkage between the Iran deal and Israel's ability to defend itself against Hezbollah's aggression, arguing that any restrictions on Israel's military actions would be detrimental.
