Senator Lindsey Graham criticizes President Biden's response to the deadly drone strikes in the Middle East, arguing that the U.S. failed to deter Iran and protect American troops. The Biden administration's decision to give Iraq and Syria a "weeks notice" before the strikes came under scrutiny from GOP lawmakers. White House National Security adviser Jake Sullivan defended the administration's response, stating that the U.S. had warned Iran and its military groups of a potential response. Graham emphasized the need to change U.S. policy and suggested targeting Iran's leadership or oil business to have a meaningful impact.
