Lindsey Graham criticises Israel over targeting Iranian oil facilities MEE staff on Mon, 03/09/2026 - 10:04 Republican senator says oil economy is 'essential' and that US will make a 'tonne of money' when Islamic republic falls US Senator Lindsey Graham speaks to members of the media at the US Capitol on 3 March 2026 in Washington, DC (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images North America/Getty Images via AFP) Off Hawkish US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has expressed concern over Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities.  On Sunday, Graham, a strong supporter of the US and Israel's war on Iran, wrote on X that Israel had shown “amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran,” adding the US was appreciative.  “However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah’s regime,” he said. “In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavour." Israel struck over 30 oil depots in Iran on Saturday, including in Tehran and Karaj.  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Video footage showed streets on fire near a depot in Tehran, and huge flames engulfing the skies. Iranian authorities said they were monitoring air quality and called on residents to stay home.  As black, oily rain fell on the Iranian capital, which is home to ten million people, residents described waking up with their eyes burning and pain in their throats.  'Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership' - US Senator Lindsey Graham The strikes on depots went far beyond what the US expected when Israel notified it in advance, according to a report in Axios, citing officials with knowledge on the matter.  The report said it was the first significant disagreement between the US and Israel since the war began over a week ago.  An Israeli military official told Axios the strikes were partly intended as a warning to Iran to stop targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure.  But the US military was reportedly surprised at how wide-ranging the onslaught was. "We don't think it was a good idea," a senior US official said. An adviser to US President Donald Trump told Axios: “The president doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices.” US will make a 'tonne of money' Tehran has warned that if such attacks continue, it will respond with similar attacks across the region.  In separate remarks on Sunday, Graham said that the US was going to make a “tonne of money” from the war on Iran.  Tensions soar as Hegseth and Rubio feud over US troops in Iran Read More » “When this regime goes down, we are going to have a new Middle East, and we are going [to] make a tonne of money,” he told Fox News.  “Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” said Graham.  His remarks suggested that the US abduction of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, and the Iran war were linked to gaining control over oil supplies.  Graham said that attacks on Iran would escalate in the coming two weeks, saying the US would “blow the hell out of these people”.  “This regime is in a death throes now, it is gonna be on its knees, it’s going to fall, and when it falls we’re going to have peace like no other time, we’re going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine,” he told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, March 9 (Reuters) - Hezbollah said on Monday its fighters clashed with Israeli troops in eastern Lebanon during an Israeli airborne raid overnight, in what would be the second such operation in the area in recent days, as the war between Israel and the Iran-backed group entered a second week. A spokesperson for the Israeli military had no immediate comment when asked about the Hezbollah statement. A Hezbollah statement said its fighters "confronted the helicopters and the infiltrating forces with appropriate weapons".

DUBAI, March 9 (Reuters) - Lebanon’s parliament extended its own mandate for two years on Monday, a statement from the speaker's office said, pushing back elections that were meant to take place in May of this year. The office of parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri said 76 lawmakers of the 128-seat body had voted in favour of the extension. The vote came a week after Lebanon was dragged into the regional war by militant group Hezbollah's launch of rockets and drones into Israel, which has responded with heavy bombardment across the country.
