Two Republican senators, Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, have urged President Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to remove security details from former administration officials, including John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Brian Hook, who are under threat from Iran. Graham described the move as a 'mistake' and emphasized the need for the Senate to review the situation. Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also encouraged Trump to revisit the decision, highlighting that these individuals are being targeted by Iran, similar to how Trump himself was targeted for assassination. The senators' calls come amid concerns over the safety of former officials who have been involved in actions against Iran.
