U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham delivered a powerful and uncompromising message of support for Donald Trump\u2019s stance on confronting the suppression of the Iranian people.Describing the Iranian regime under Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a \u201cbrutal, Nazi-like religious dictatorship,\u201d Graham declared: \u201cThe single greatest prize and achievement of your presidency would be the total collapse of this regime.<\/h6>\n

Kabul 24<\/a>: Either it falls and its leader is killed, or \u2013 like other failed dictators \u2013 he ends up fleeing to Moscow.\u201dGraham urged Trump to stand firmly with the Iranian people at this historic moment. \u201cStand with them, Mr. President.<\/p>\n

Stand behind them, keep your promises, and history will record you as the second Ronald Reagan \u2013 the leader who courageously confronted an evil empire and helped bring it down.\u201dHe sharply criticized any lingering hope in Washington for a new nuclear deal with Tehran, calling those who believe Khamenei would ever genuinely abandon his nuclear ambitions \u201cnaive.\u201d Graham added: \u201cAnyone in the White House who thinks Ali Khamenei will truly give up his nuclear dreams simply doesn\u2019t understand the nature of this regime.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Donald Trump is not naive.\u201dTurning his attention to the Democratic Party, Graham accused them of deliberately downplaying and undermining the Iranian freedom movement for domestic political reasons.<\/p>\n

Pointing to figures such as Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and other opposition leaders, he said: \u201cThere are people inside Iran who want to be our friends, who want a free and democratic future.<\/p>\n

But because this transformation might happen under Trump\u2019s<\/a> watch, you belittle and dismiss this movement \u2013 even as thousands of brave Iranians are losing their lives in the streets.\u201dIn closing, Graham emphasized that history remembers leaders who show courage in decisive moments and stand with oppressed nations.<\/p>\n

He framed the current crisis in Iran as exactly such a moment \u2013 an opportunity for Donald Trump to leave an enduring legacy by supporting the Iranian people in their struggle against one of the world\u2019s most repressive regimes.<\/p>\n
