Trump allies tell Netanyahu: Do what you have to do to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons

On November 17, according to the AXIOS website, US Republican Senator Graham told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a meeting in Jerusalem on Saturday to "do what you have to do" in order to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Graham has close ties to US President-elect Trump and has had a lot of influence in the formulation of Trump's Middle East policy in recent years. Israeli officials said Netanyahu hopes to get Trump's support to take tougher measures against Iran, including military action against its nuclear program. In a statement issued after the meeting, Graham said he has "never been more concerned about Iran's nuclear breakthrough". "It is in the interest of the United States to ensure that the Iranian regime does not possess nuclear weapons." Iran, on the other hand, denies that it is developing nuclear weapons.
