Sen. Lindsey Graham: Obama's handling of Iran's nuclear program could be 'the mistake of a lifetime'
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wants the Obama administration to "call a time-out" on talks with Iran about their nuclear program until the country agrees to stop building weapons and "destabilizing [their] neighbors."
"Iran with a nuclear capability is the greatest threat the world will know in my lifetime," Graham said during an interview with the Hugh Hewitt radio program.
Congressional Republicans want to vote on new Iran sanctions, but Obama has threatened to veto any measures proposed while negotiations are still ongoing.
