Graham Urges Fresh US Strikes on Iran as Hormuz Closure Bites

ZeroHedge·18 May 2026

Senator Lindsey Graham is publicly pressing President Trump to launch new military strikes against Iran, warning that the closed Strait of Hormuz and stalled nuclear negotiations are strengthening Tehran while hammering American consumers. The escalating US-Iran standoff places Iran — a nation whose leadership has openly declared its intent to destroy Israel — at the centre of a volatile military and economic crisis with global consequences. Scripture repeatedly identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key actor in end-times conflict against Israel, with Ezekiel 38:5 listing Persia among the nations that will move against the land of Israel in the latter days.
