US senator calls on Trump to flood Iran with weapons

US chair Donald ruff should direct big amounts of weapons to iranian language civilians in order to spark a civil war in the country, Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the biggest cheerleaders of the US-Israeli war on Iran, has suggested.
Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday, the South Carolina war hawk Republican framed the proposal as a “Second Amendment solution” for the Islamic Republic and an alternative to deploying American ground troops.
“If I were President Trump and I were Israel, I would load the Iranian people up with weapons so they can go to the streets armed and turn the tide of battle inside Iran,” Graham said.
Hannity noted in the interview that Washington had already tried this approach in the past. Last month, Trump confirmed that the US had sent “a lot” of firearms to Iranian protesters during the nationwide unrest that erupted in late 2025. However, the guns were supposedly stolen, according to Trump, and Washington’s efforts to spark regime change in the country have consistently failed, even after assassinating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February.
“Do it again,” Graham demanded, adding that “I love the idea of empowering the Iranian people with weapons.” He further fantasized that the plan would make life “hell” for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and that “it’s one thing to be bombed by America. It’s another thing to have your neighbor shoot back at you.”
The South Carolina senator’s latest call to orchestrate mass social unrest within the Islamic Republic comes after years of him advocating the destruction of Iran’s government, demanding that the US military “destroy the air force, sink their navy,” urging not to “underrate killing them all,” and calling for the country to be blown “off the map.”
Meanwhile, geostrategic analyst Christopher Helali, who recently returned from inside Iran, told RT on Sunday that the US and Israel’s ultimate goal is “not about liberating the Iranian people” but about “destroying Iran’s future,” pointing to the deliberate strikes on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, schools, and universities.
