As Trump sells the Iran war as a nuclear crackdown, his closest hawk may have handed Tehran fresh propaganda. Senator Lindsey Graham publicly urges Israel to “be cautious” and “save” Iran’s oil economy for a post‑regime future, calling it “essential” and even boasting that Venezuela and Iran’s 31 percent share of global reserves is a “good investment” that will make “a tonne of money.” Hours after those remarks, Iran’s army claims it has hit oil and gas facilities in Haifa with suicide drones, while Tehran accuses Washington of plotting to partition Iran and seize its oil.
