Lindsey Graham calls for restraint after attack leads to toxic rain over Iran

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime advocate for military intervention, issued an unusual call for restraint Sunday after Israeli attacks on Iranian oil refineries created toxic rain over Tehran, threatening chemical burns and lung damage to residents. Graham urged target selection that preserves Iran's oil economy for future development after the regime collapses. U.S. officials were reportedly dismayed by the scope of Israeli strikes, with one senior official stating they didn't "think it was a good idea." An Israeli official characterized the U.S. response as "WTF." The refineries hit in densely populated Tehran prompted Iran's Red Crescent to urge residents to shelter indoors. Graham, who vocally supported the Trump administration's initial Iran strikes and has consistently backed military action globally, has seen seven U.S. service members killed in the conflict so far.
