Rep. Nancy Mace is taking aim at fellow South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham after his calls to send U.S. troops into Iran.

Graham has been openly supportive of military action, even saying he would ask Americans to send their “sons and daughters” into the conflict.

Mace’s response: if you’re that eager for war, why not go yourself?

The clash highlights a growing divide—even within the same party—over how far the U.S. should go in escalating the conflict with Iran.

Adm. Alvin Holsey — a 37-year Navy veteran and the first Black commander of U.S. Southern Command — was forced out of his role after clashing with the Trump administration over controversial naval strike operations in the Caribbean.

Holsey, who had spent decades rising through the ranks and leading major commands including Carrier Strike Group One, was overseeing U.S. military activity in Latin America when tensions began to build. At the center of the dispute were lethal strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats, operations that sparked internal concern among military and legal officials about whether they were operating within U.S. and international law.

According to multiple reports, Holsey pushed for caution and raised questions about the legal authority and scope of these strikes, particularly as the administration expanded the mission and reclassified it as part of a broader armed conflict.

His departure came less than a year into what is typically a three-year posting, making it a highly unusual exit for a four-star commander.

Holsey ultimately retired in December 2025, with officials publicly praising his service, but his exit has been widely linked to growing friction with Pentagon leadership and concerns over the direction of the mission.

The situation has since become a flashpoint in a larger debate about military accountability, the limits of executive power, and the obligation of officers to question or refuse orders they believe may be unlawful — a principle deeply embedded in U.S. military doctrine.

During a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable, President Donald Trump appeared to place responsibility for the war with Iran on his own Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth.

Trump told the gathering that Hegseth was “the first one to speak up” and encouraged him with “Pete… you said, ‘Let’s do it’” before strikes began — a moment that’s drawing attention as critics and supporters alike debate who is shaping U.S. military strategy.

Hegseth, appointed in 2025 and formerly a conservative media figure, has been a prominent voice in advocating for a tough approach to Iran, and the exchange adds fuel to ongoing discussions about leadership, accountability, and how the conflict unfolded.

British Cabinet Minister Steve Reed has officially rejected claims that Iran is planning to target London with ballistic missiles. Speaking to the BBC, he stated there is currently no intelligence or assessment to substantiate the warnings recently issued by the Israeli government

J. D. Vance is reportedly weighing his political future as discussions emerge about a potential 2028 presidential run.
According to reports, he may consider sitting out the race, with the decision influenced in part by “family priorities” as he balances public life with personal commitments.
While no official announcement has been made, the possibility has already sparked conversation about what his absence could mean for the early landscape of the 2028 election cycle in the United States.
If he ultimately decides not to run, it could open the door for other candidates within his party and reshape the direction of upcoming political dynamics. For now, all eyes remain on his next move as speculation continues
