US Senator Lindsey Graham has issued a stark warning about Iran‘s growing missile capabilities, stating that its ballistic missiles can now penetrate Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. In an interview with the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post, Graham emphasized that Iran’s advancements pose a serious strategic threat, on par with its nuclear program.
The Republican senator, who recently visited Tel Aviv, described Tehran’s ballistic missile development as an escalating danger” for both the US and Israel. He argued that continued progress in this area could undermine Israeli air defense systems, particularly the Iron Dome, a critical shield against missile attacks.
Graham confirmed that the issue will be on the agenda for upcoming talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump. The senator stressed the importance of strengthening the Washington-Tel Aviv alliance, noting that any threat to Israel directly impacts American interests.
This warning follows recent reports by NBC News, citing Israeli officials who claim Iran is expanding its ballistic missile program. These officials reportedly plan to raise the issue during Netanyahu’s forthcoming meeting with Trump, framing it as a new regional threat. According to NBC News, Netanyahu is expected to present options for potential US military action or support against Iran, arguing that Tehran’s activities endanger not just Israel but the entire region, including US interests.
