Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator, is strongly criticizing two Republican senators for their reaction to the tragic loss of three U.S. soldiers.
According to a report by CNN on Sunday, three Army soldiers lost their lives and more than 30 were wounded in a drone attack on an outpost in Jordan. U.S. officials attributed the attack to militants supported by Iran. Following the news, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to X to express his outrage, condemning President Joe Biden’s administration and asserting that their approach to deterrence had been a complete failure.
“I am calling on the Biden Administration to strike targets of significance inside Iran, not only as reprisal for the killing of our forces, but as deterrence against future aggression,” he continued.
Finally, Graham said, “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
Secretary Austin’s efforts to deter aggression against our forces in the region has failed miserably. I’ve long since lost confidence in the Biden national security team to deter Iran. If they do not change their policies now, more American service members in the region will pay…
