We May Have Finally Found Out What Lindsey Graham Loves.
Anyone who's been following American politics, especially stories involving West Asia/Middle East/Persian Gulf, knows that there's always been speculation regarding what US Senator Lindsey Graham loves.
There have been jokes, teasing, inferences...but the Senator has been relatively tight-lipped despite being a very vocal figure in foreign policy.
Interesting that it took a war against Iran to shed some light on the issue; Senator Graham loves...oil & money:
Hawkish US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has expressed concern over Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities.
On Sunday, Graham, a strong supporter of the US and Israel's war on Iran, wrote on X that Israel had shown “amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran,” adding the US was appreciative.
“However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah’s regime,” he said.
“In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavour."
Israel struck over 30 oil depots in Iran on Saturday, including in Tehran and Karaj.

Tehran has warned that if such attacks continue, it will respond with similar attacks across the region.
In separate remarks on Sunday, Graham said that the US was going to make a “tonne of money” from the war on Iran.
“When this regime goes down, we are going to have a new Middle East, and we are going [to] make a tonne of money,” he told Fox News.
“Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” said Graham.
His remarks suggested that the US abduction of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, and the Iran war were linked to gaining control over oil supplies.
