Israel is strong. Iran is weak. Hezbollah, Hamas have been decimated,' Graham said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. 'They're not finished off, but they've been weakened.

And I think it would be in the world's interest for us to decimate the Iranian nuclear threat while we can. If we don't, we will regret it later.
