Graham, who said he spent four and a half hours with the president on Friday, outlined that if a deal fails, he expects "President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force."
"The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz, we'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation, and we're going to expand the Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026," Graham said.
Graham added, "if Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them."
"So, to all the people listening, if this diplomatic effort fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz. We're going to run it," Graham said. "We're going to try to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, end the Arab-Israeli conflict in 2026. And if Iran continues to attack Israel and Lebanon, the new policy will be, we'll hit Iran."
