Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was "very clear" about the need to eliminate Iran's nuclear program prior to his passing on Saturday night. In an interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press," Netanyahu emphasized the urgency of addressing the threat posed by Iran's potential nuclear capabilities.
