US senator says will support Israel 'until my dying day' US Senator Lindsey Graham said he would stand with Israel “until my dying day” and urged Washington’s Gulf allies to play a greater role in the war against Iran. Speaking on Fox News, the Republican lawmaker criticised countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for refusing to allow their territories to be used for attacks on Iran. Graham said he wanted the US’s friends in Saudi Arabia and other countries “to step forward and say ‘This is my fight, too'”. The top Republican senator also criticised Spain, which has said it will not let the US use joint military bases on its territory during its war against Iran. “To our allies. Step up,” said Graham. “Get our air bases out of Spain. They’re not reliable. Move all those airplanes to a country that would let us use them when we’re threatened by a regime like Iran,” he added. Where does he think he derives the authority to unilaterally offer permanent “defense agreements” to foreign countries? Who exactly made this effeminate weirdo emperor of the world? I don’t remember voting on that measure. https://t.co/wshSapExik March 10, 2026
