The core narrative of this topic, summarized from reporting across multiple outlets. This captures the key facts that most outlets agree on.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he expects U.S. diplomatic talks with Iran to fail, even as he argued negotiations should be attempted before military steps are taken. The South Carolina Republican discussed a proposed memorandum of understanding with Iran and said any money involved would not be enough to alter Iran’s future or rebuild its position. Graham predicted that if diplomacy collapses, President Donald Trump would move to take control of the Strait of Hormuz, potentially “by force,” and charge ships fees to fund the operation. He warned that if Iran resisted U.S. control of the strategic waterway, the United States would “obliterate” it, while also predicting an expansion of the Abraham Accords in 2026.
