U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, in a post on X, thanked former President Donald Trump for implementing the blockade of southern Iranian ports, stating it has been highly successful both conceptually and in execution, and expressed confidence in Trump's options to sustain gains against the Iranian regime. Graham also commended Trump's decision to cancel the Witkoff-Kushner trip, citing continued Iranian attacks on international shipping and provocative actions post-ceasefire.
