A very interesting idea by Marc Thiessen and others to take frozen Iranian assets as an offset to some U.S. taxpayer dollars to replenish our depleted stockpile of weapons.
I believe most Americans would be okay with taking financial assets from a terrorist regime — that has been wreaking havoc on the planet — and using that money to help replenish U.S. weapons stockpiles that are being used to advance freedom and security.
I intend to have an amendment to the supplemental appropriations bill that would do just that. Hopefully, it will garner massive bipartisan support.

Analysis Summary
Graham endorses a proposal by Marc Thiessen to seize Iran's frozen assets and redirect them to replenish U.S. weapons stockpiles used in the Iran conflict. The Thiessen proposal is real and Graham's stated intent to introduce an amendment is confirmed. What Graham omits: his own administration negotiated unfreezing these same assets as part of the June 2026 Iran deal — he's essentially proposing to reverse a provision his administration agreed to, a material conflict he doesn't acknowledge.
