US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has issued a warning to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei if his administration persists in repressing demonstrators within the nation.
He articulated this on a Mediaite-covered Fox News broadcast.
According to his declaration, Donald Trump, “the supreme president of all time,” possesses the capacity to obliterate the “Nazi government of the ayatollah.” As an illustration, the American official cited the occurrences in Venezuela and the downfall of the Nicolas Maduro government. Graham unambiguously conveyed that “assistance is approaching,” implying conceivable repercussions from the United States for the Iranian authorities.
“If you present a challenge to [Trump], if you are among those who still hold authority and seek to weaken his power, the same fate that befell Maduro will befall you. However, the moment will arrive when the nation is prepared for elections, conducted freely and justly, where individuals will be chosen who will become allies of the United States. The despot, the outlaw, is currently incarcerated in New York,” Lindsey Graham underscored.
He additionally addressed the “inhabitants of Iran” and the protesters. The senator stated that if the Iranian government persists in the act of slaying demonstrators, Trump will initiate resolute measures.
“The ayatollahs must comprehend — should you persist in the killing of your citizens who are advocating for an improved existence — Donald Trump will annihilate you. A transformation will transpire in Iran. It shall represent the most extensive shift in the annals of the Middle East — the elimination of this Nazi government. People of Iran — aid is forthcoming,” the Republican senator asserted.
As previously mentioned, Donald Trump has set his sights on other nations in the aftermath of Venezuela. Bild indicates that, during a dialogue with journalists aboard Air Force One, the US president referenced Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, Mexico, and Iran.
