In a statement Wednesday evening, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed understanding of Israeli security concerns regarding Syria but argued that President Ahmad al-Sharaa has taken a clear stance against Iran, significantly reducing Tehran's influence in Syria. Graham called for recognition of al-Sharaa's efforts, suggesting that the status quo is unacceptable.
