Views on Iran
In September 2010 Graham publicly advocated US military force in Iran with the goal of overthrowing the current government:
- If you use military force against Iran, you've opened up Pandora's box," Graham told the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. "If you allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon, you've emptied Pandora's box. I'd rather open up Pandora's box than empty it."[2]
