Lindsey Graham: $1 Billion A Day For Iran War Is 'Best Money' U.S. Has 'Ever Spent'

"What's it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who's trying to build a nuclear weapon?" he asked on Fox News.

Sen. Lindsey Graham just called America’s “$1 billion a day” military operations in Iran a great “investment” for America.

During this week’s edition of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” host Maria Bartiromo asked the South Carolina senator to justify the staggering cost of the conflict, which the Pentagon is planning to ask for billions more to fund and has sent oil prices soaring.

“Best money ever spent,” he said. “What’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who’s trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That’s a really good investment.”

Calling it imperative that Iran “never go nuclear,” Graham said, “What would it cost America if Iran had 11 nuclear bombs to threaten us? They would to hold us hostage.”

Iran has long maintained its enriched uranium supply only for its nuclear energy program and research. But a majority of its cache clocks around 60% purity, which experts say is exponentially stronger than what’s needed for civilian use though still shy of 90% weapons-grade levels.
