Over the weekend, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated that the only reliable way of ensuring the release of American hostages from Hamas captivity in Gaza is to begin targeting infrastructure that the Islamic Republic of Iran values.
Graham discussed the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week” while addressing the tragic discovery of the six hostages, including one U.S. citizen, 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who were recently found murdered by Hamas.
Graham expressed deep sadness and overwhelming despair upon learning about the release of the six hostages, who had been held captive for nearly a year following Hamas’ unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7.
“After 11 months of captivity he was murdered by Hamas. Hamas could care less about the hostages or the Palestinians. And if you want the hostages home, which we all do, you have to increase the cost to Iran. Iran is the great Satan here. Hamas is the junior partner. They’re barbaric, religious nazis, Hamas. They could care less about the Palestinian people.” Graham said.
“I would urge the Biden administration and Israel to hold Iran accountable for the fate of remaining hostages and put on the target list oil refineries in Iran if the hostages are not released,” he continued.
