Introduction

Senator Lindsey Graham wants to give guns to people in Iran. He wants them to fight their own government.

Main Body

Senator Graham says this is a good idea. He thinks people in Iran can fight the government. Then, the US does not need to send its own soldiers. In the past, the US tried to send guns. President Trump says some groups stole the guns. Those groups say this is not true. Now, the US and Iran are fighting in the sea. President Trump says he will destroy Iran if they do not change. Some experts say the US wants to break Iran's buildings and power.

Conclusion

The US and Iran are still very angry. The US still wants a new government in Iran.
