Senator Lindsey Graham is urging the Biden administration to blow parts of Iran "off the map."
The South Carolina Republican said he told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin not to show "weakness" and make clear what the U.S. red lines for a retaliatory attack are.
"Without Iran there are no Houthis," Graham told Fox News on Wednesday. "The Houthis are completely backed by Iran. I have been saying for six months now...hit Iran. They have oil fields out in the open, they have the Revolutionary Guard headquarters you can see from space. Blow it off the map."
He continued: "If you really want to protect American soldiers, make it real to the ayatollah [that if] you attack a solider through a proxy, we're coming after you."
