"Trump initially claimed that help was on the way to the protestors, threatening military action if demonstrators were killed. He then abruptly stepped back from his threats, declaring that the killing in Iran is stopping and signaling he would accept Iranian rulers' invitation to talk. Yet Trump also confirmed that a massive armada was on its way to the area just in case, telling reporters on Thursday that his administration intended to keep a close eye on the country."
"Graham, who initially decried the president's change of heart surrounding military action, struck a much more supportive tone on Tuesday. Let's start with the idea that Donald Trump is Reagan-plus, said Graham, employing a reference he's used previously to describe the president's foreign policy. A man of peace but not to be trifled with. Graham reiterated the president's initial promise to protestors, telling Hannity he hoped the conflict could be resolved without violence, despite continued reports that the Iranian Government murdered tens of thousands of demonstrators."
"Here's what I think. When Donald Trump promises you something, he'll deliver. To the Iranian people, President Trump has your back. Help will be on the way, he said. I'm not going to say anymore."
Sen. Lindsey Graham told Iranian protesters that help will be on the way and said President Trump has their back. Graham spoke on Fox's Hannity amid anti-government protests that surged through Iran in early January. Graham has pushed for U.S. military action and initially criticized Trump's retreat from threats. President Trump first promised assistance and warned of military action, then stepped back while saying the killings were stopping and signaling willingness to talk, but confirmed a large armada was deployed as a precaution. Graham described Trump as "Reagan-plus" and expressed hope the conflict could be resolved without violence.
