Senator Lindsey Graham stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Wednesday night just hours after President Trump addressed the nation; saying his speech on Iran will be remembered long beyond his second term.
“You believe beyond any doubt that they were trying to kill Americans, tell us why you believe that?” asked Hannity.
“They overran the Embassy, Soleimani’s been killing Americans for 20 years, he’s on the ground in Baghdad… Here’s the good news, the President made a bold decision to allow things to calm down,” said Graham.
“This speech will be talked about beyond his second term. This speech is on par with ‘Tear Down This Wall,’” he added.

GRAHAM ON EMBASSY ATTACK: ‘There Will Be No Benghazis on Trump’s Watch’
Senator Lindsey Graham responded to the recent attack on the US Embassy in Iraq Tuesday; telling officials in Tehran there will be “no Benghazis” under President Trump’s watch.
To the Iranian government:
Be careful what you wish for — a country that depends on the ability to refine oil for its existence needs to be cautious.

To our Iraqi allies:
This is your moment to convince the American people the US-Iraq relationship is meaningful to you and worth protecting.
Protect our American personnel. You will not regret it.

A crowd of dozens of Iran-backed protesters stormed the US embassy in Baghdad Tuesday; crashing a gate while chanting “Down, Down USA!” in response to American airstrikes targeting militants in the region.
“Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!” posted President Trump on Twitter.

“The embassy attack, one of the worst in recent memory, followed deadly U.S. airstrikes on Sunday that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed group, the Kataeb Hezbollah. The U.S. military said the airstrikes were in retaliation for last week’s killing of an American contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base that it had blamed on the militia,” reports Fox News.
