Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Axios on Saturday that several people around President Trump are advising him not to bomb Iran. Graham urged the president to ignore them.

Why it matters: With two aircraft carriers and hundreds of warplanes preparing for what could be a major military operation, top Trump advisers tell Axios that the president still hasn't made up his mind.

  • He has been presented with military options that include killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son.
  • But his team is also showing some limited flexibility in talks with Iran. A senior official told Axios the U.S. would consider an Iranian proposal that includes some "token" uranium enrichment if it ensures there is no path to a bomb.


  • Between the lines: Graham, who is close to Trump, is leading the pro-strike camp in Trump's orbit.

  • Graham visited the Middle East earlier this week and discussed Iran with the leaders of Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
