Behind the Scenes of the Iran War! According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Lindsay Graham, a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and a political ally of Trump, has been exposed as a key figure in lobbying the President to attack Iran!

It was this person who "guided" Netanyahu on how to convince Trump to bomb Iran, even accompanying the U.S. intelligence community to Israel to provide lobbying guidance to Netanyahu.

The latest report by The Wall Street Journal reveals how Graham, a war-monger who openly claims to be an "agent of influence" for Netanyahu, succeeded in his efforts.

Lindsay Graham is affectionately called "Amoo Linsey" by Iranian opposition groups. "Amoo" means "uncle" in Persian, and they have taken him as one of their own.

The Wall Street Journal says that Graham repeatedly urged Trump to take military action behind the scenes, spending several months influencing the president to approve this military operation.

He himself revealed that the intelligence presented by Netanyahu ultimately convinced the president to issue the order.

Graham is one of the few people around Trump who consistently advocated for the attack. When he persuaded the president, he liked to play a childish word association game.

He asked, "When I mention Franklin Roosevelt, what's your immediate response?"

The correct answer is: "You have nothing to fear but fear itself."

He asked Trump, "What would your slogan be?"

Old Trump said, "I don't know."

Graham said: "The battle cry you will be remembered for is: 'Keep protesting, help is on the way'!"

This refers to statements encouraging unrest within Iran.

He also reminded Trump to scrap the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal and fed him a line of nonsense: "This is a moment for Trump to make history!"

In recent months, Graham has continuously pushed for hostilities, sometimes annoying White House senior staff, who call him an "annoying crazy uncle."

The focus of the Washington Post was on Graham's multiple visits to Israel before the airstrikes, where he gave Netanyahu direct instructions.

He publicly admitted that Israeli officials provided him with intelligence assessments, saying, "They would tell me information that the U.S. government wouldn't disclose."

Eventually, it was he who guided Netanyahu on how to lobby Trump to take action!

While figures such as Middle East envoy Wittkop were pushing for negotiations with Iran, Graham advocated for regime change.

He said, "They don't want to negotiate; they're not buying a house, they're burning yours down."

To push this agenda, Graham said he worked closely with two others: Fox commentator and retired Army General Jack Keane, and Marc Thiessen, chief speechwriter for George W. Bush.

According to him, the three took turns calling the president and exchanging opinions.

Graham said, "At that time, there were very few other voices supporting the action."

Thiessen and Keane wrote opinion articles and gave television interviews to gain Trump's attention. The president had once shared Thiessen's article online, which suggested that Iranians could serve as "ground forces."

Critics from both parties have openly accused him of leading the country into another Middle Eastern war without any long-term strategy.

Some say he "always wants to turn a boxing match into a bombing."

Senator Paul said he was trying to steer the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement toward a policy of regime change.

Next, Lebanon will be the next focus.

He said he proposed to Trump bombing Iranian and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, naming it the "Loyal Forever Operation," in memory of the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, in which 241 U.S. service members died, and argued that Trump could take a stronger stance than Reagan did.

Graham said, "Try to influence the direction of these events. We are at a critical point in world history. Just jump in the deep end of the pool."

Graham doesn't worry about Trump being unable to find an exit in Iran, nor does he care about the argument that the war might hurt Trump's midterm election support, saying MAGA will ultimately support these actions.

He believes that just the military intervention policy of Trump is worth betting on his re-election!

Old Trump and old America have been led into deep waters by this guy. He successfully extended the Ukraine battlefield to the Middle East battlefield.

American national interests have nothing to do with him.

In addition to titles like hawk and warmonger, this person is well known in circles as the top agent for the defense industry.

It's likely that he has already bought stocks in oil companies.
