Graham Urges DOD, State to ‘Explain to Us What’s Going On’ as Iran Tensions Mount

Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) on Wednesday urged Department of Defense and State Department officials to explain to members of Congress why they felt inclined to withdraw diplomatic personnel from U.S. embassies in Iraq earlier in the day.

“Removing personnel from embassies and consulates is clearly a serious move by the State Department; they feel the threat,” Graham told reporters. “I would urge the State Department and DoD to come down here and explain to us what’s going on, because I have no idea what the threat stream is beyond what I read in the paper. And I think there are a lot of people in my shoes who are going to support standing up to Iran but they need to understand what the threat is.”
