Senator Graham Supports Trump's Message to Iranians: Reagan Didn't Say 'Please Shorten the Berlin Wall,' He Said 'Tear It Down'

Lindsey Graham, the American Republican senator, reacted on Tuesday to Donald Trump's message to the people of Iran, stating that the 'powerful message' delivered by the U.S. President, urging 'protesters' in Iran to 'keep protesting,' was a 'more powerful' version of Ronald Reagan's call for the dismantling of the Berlin Wall. Mr. Graham said, 'This is Trump's Reagan moment, and with much more intensity. When Reagan went to the Berlin Wall, he didn't say, 'Could you please shorten it?' He said, 'Tear it down.' The American senator continued, 'At a critical time for the suffering people of Iran, President Trump said to keep protesting. This could be his Berlin Wall moment; [even] a thousand times bigger than that.' Regarding the Islamic Republic, Mr. Graham stated, 'If this Nazi-like religious dictatorship in Iran falls due to the will of the people, it will have significance equivalent to the collapse of the Soviet Union and will be the biggest transformation in the Middle East in a thousand years.' He added, 'When it comes to standing against evil - which ensures the security of the American people - Donald Trump is the greatest president of all time.' Lindsey Graham: Khamenei should watch out for drones! The Islamic Republic has crossed the 'red line.' Support from a Democratic senator for Trump's potential military action against the Islamic Republic. The European Parliament banned the entry of diplomats and representatives of the Islamic Republic; 'Europe must understand its duty, Iran will be free.' A spokesperson for JD Vance denied claims about his efforts to dissuade Trump from a military response to the Islamic Republic.
