Republican Senators Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, and John Cornyn called for the US to bomb Iran in response to the deaths, which they framed as the inevitable outcome of the presidential administration of Joe Biden being too soft on the Islamic Republic.
“I’ve long since lost confidence in the Biden national security team to deter Iran,” Graham told media. “If they do not change their policies now, more American service members in the region will pay the price. Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
“The only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East,” Cotton agreed, arguing, “Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.”
“Target Tehran,” Cornyn wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
