"One of the benefits of this approach is that it would substantially undo the damage done to our reputation by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan," Graham said on X.
"If diplomacy fails, going all-in for Israel shows that America is back as a reliable ally and a strong force against oppression. It would strengthen our hand in all corners of the world, as well as all other conflicts we face."
His zeal to support the Jewish State came before Fox News reported that two U.S. Navy Destroyers, the USS Sullivans and USS Arleigh Burke, were assisting Israel to shoot down incoming missile volleys from Iran.

Israel’s strike on Iran was intended to take out the country’s nuclear enrichment program and carry out targeted attacks on a number of top Iranian officials.
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., said the strike was "warranted" given Iran’s years of aggression against Israel, but he agreed with the president that negotiations needed to resume.
"A regime that chants ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Israel has every right to defend itself, and America stands with Israel."

But others, like Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., accused Trump of killing the Iran nuclear agreement and contended that the end of negotiations "accelerated Iran’s development towards a bomb."
Still, he hoped a deal could be made to prevent further "escalation in the region that could endanger American citizens, troops and our interests."
"As we support Israel in protecting their people from Iran's response, everyone needs to be focused on de-escalation," Kelly said in a statement.
