Graham's announcement comes less than a month after he met with Netanyahu in Israel in December.
In a video posted to X on December 21, Netanyahu welcomed the senator, calling Graham "a great friend of Israel" and "great personal friend."
The lawmaker has been advocating for U.S. President Donald Trump to attack Iran.
"President Trump's resolve is not the question: Question is, when we do an operation like this, should it be bigger, or smaller? I'm in the camp of bigger," Graham said in footage he highlighted in a Thursday post on X. "Time will tell. I'm hopeful and optimistic that the regime days are numbered."

In a Wednesday post on X, Graham wrote, "People often ask me what should we do next when it comes to the murderous, religious Nazi regime in Iran. It’s pretty simple. Stand by the protesters demanding an end to their oppression. But it’s going to take more than standing by them. We must stop those who are responsible for killing the people by any means necessary ASAP. Make The Iranian People Safe Again."
