Speaking this morning on Fox News, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham advocated for the ongoing conflict with Iran, urging other countries in join, while push for similar military action against Cuba:

“I'm not looking for a fair fight. If we get in a fight, I want to win it. I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The Liberation of Cuba is upon us. It's just a matter of time now. You see this, that? Make Iran Great. President Trump said the only way to Make Iran Great is for the people to take over. We're marching through the world. We're cleaning out the bad guys. We're going to have relationships with new people that will make us prosperous and safe. I've never seen anybody like it. This is Ronald Reagan Plus. Donald Trump is resetting the world in a way nobody could have dreamed of a year ago. He is the greatest Commander-in-Chief of all time. Our military is the best of all time. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.”

The Trump Administration was dismayed by the scale and wide-spread destruction caused by Saturday’s strike campaign by Israel against oil infrastructure in and around the Iranian capital of Tehran, which reportedly targeting 30 oil and fuel depots sparking massive fires across the city that continue to burn into Sunday, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge who spoke to Axios.

U.S. officials state that Saturday’s strikes went far beyond what the United States expected when Israel notified it in advance, created large fires in Tehran, igniting flames visible for miles and blanketing the capital in heavy smoke. Senior officials in the Trump Administration are concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and further driving up oil prices throughout the World.

“The President doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices,” a Trump adviser told Axios. An Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was “WTF.” A U.S. official says the disagreement and what the U.S. expects in the war is expected to be addressed soon at senior political levels between Israel and the United States.
