Report: Sen. Graham Urges Iran Strike After UAE Attacks

VIDEO

By Theodore Bunker | Monday, 04 May 2026 05:19 PM EDT

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Monday called on President Donald Trump to order a "big, strong, painful, and short" military strike against Iran following new attacks on the United Arab Emirates that he said violated a fragile ceasefire with the United States.

Graham said Iran had "absolutely" breached the agreement by targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and launching missiles toward the UAE, including one that struck an oil facility.

"There is now an obvious justification to hit Iran hard to further reduce their capabilities and interference with freedom of navigation, as well as wreaking havoc on the region," Graham told The Wall Street Journal, arguing the attacks demanded a forceful U.S. response.

"The actions today are inconsistent with a regime that wants a diplomatic solution," he added.

The escalation follows confirmed reports Monday of Iranian drone and missile activity in and around the UAE and the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route for oil.

UAE officials said an Iranian drone attack sparked a fire at an oil facility in Fujairah, while separate maritime incidents left vessels damaged or ablaze near the nation's coast.

The attacks marked one of the most serious tests of a ceasefire reached in early April after weeks of conflict between Iran and the United States and its regional allies.

Rasmussen Poll: Majority Link Media to Trump Attack

By Charlie McCarthy | Monday, 04 May 2026 02:29 PM EDT


Many Americans said the mainstream media's coverage of President Donald Trump inspired last month's assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, a Rasmussen Reports survey found.

The
Rasmussen survey, conducted April 27-29 among 1,076 likely U.S. voters, showed growing concern about political violence and a significant share of Americans placing blame on media rhetoric.

According to the poll, 60% of voters said it is at least somewhat likely that negative news media coverage of Trump contributed to the attempted attack, including 41% who say it is "very likely." 

The findings come after an armed suspect was arrested April 25 after attempting to rush into the White House Correspondents' Association dinner where Trump and senior administration officials were in attendance.

CENTCOM Drops Details on Strait Push - and Obliterates Iran’s Fake Strike Claim

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the U.S. would be providing help to get ships that had been stuck in the Persian Gulf since the military action in the area began through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday morning. Trump termed it "Project Freedom" and called it a "humanitarian gesture."

Trump warned the Iranian regime that if it took any action against these ships, they would be met with force.

In reply, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, Ebrahim Azizi, claimed that such action would violate the ceasefire. But helping ships through the Strait isn't firing on them — unless they act hostile toward them first. Then, that would mean Iran has broken the ceasefire.

According to reports citing U.S. officials, the effort involves coordination with "governments, shipping companies, and insurance firms aimed at facilitating the safe exit of vessels from the region." 

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is confirming they will begin supporting Project Freedom "to restore freedom of navigation for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz."

The U.S. military is denying Iranian claims that it struck a Navy ship in the Middle East as President Trump launches a program to help vessels stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state media said Monday the military struck the Navy vessel southeast of the strait for “violating maritime security and navigation norms.”

The U.S. Central Command said no such thing occurred.



“TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports,” the command wrote on X.

The United States has rejected Iranian state media reports that a U.S. warship had been struck by missiles in the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a May 4 post on X that “no U.S. Navy ships have been struck,” adding that U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

The statement followed reports from Iranian media outlets alleging that Iranian forces issued warnings to U.S. naval vessels and engaged in a direct confrontation in the region.

Iranian state broadcaster IRIB said on May 4 that the Iranian Navy “has given a firm and swift warning to the destroyers of the American-Zionist enemy,” which prevented them from entering the strait.

Hassett: Blockade Leaving Iran on 'Precipice of Extreme Calamity'

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Sunday, 03 May 2026 03:55 PM EDT


U.S. pressure on Iran is intensifying the country's economic crisis, as a U.S.-backed blockade is straining its economy and leaving it "on the precipice of extreme calamity" while Iran deals with hyperinflation, food shortages, and growing internal unrest, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Sunday.

"The blockade is working. It's putting an enormous amount of pressure on Iran," Hassett said during an interview with
CBS' "Face the Nation," adding that recent U.N. criticism of Tehran highlights the regime's treatment of its own citizens.

Hassett also pointed to Iran's long-term economic decline, saying the country's per capita GDP has fallen sharply since the 1979 Revolution, underscoring what he described as systemic mismanagement by its leadership.
