Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned against putting trust in the Iranian regime, which has agreed to a ceasefire and opening the Strait of Hormuz. “Now, if they chose the hard way, there would be more damage done, and it would prevent Iran from building up their economy, fermenting terror,” host Sean Hannity said. “There are advantages to that.
