U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has publicly called on President Donald Trump to maintain the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. In a social media post, Graham stated, "Mr. President: take control of the Strait of Hormuz and keep the blockade in place. Then you will truly have all the cards." This public pressure from a senior Republican senator comes as the blockade has caused oil prices to surge and Iran has vowed retaliation for recent U.S. military actions.
