The Telegram outlet posted the tweet from the late U.S. senator, in which he mocked reported intentions to assassinate him. The post comes hours after reports of Graham's death earlier today.
The Telegram outlet 301 Arab World on Sunday shared a tweet from U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham posted six days ago, in which he mocked reports of intentions to assassinate him. The post comes hours after earlier reports of Graham's death, and as Iranian media outlets have been celebrating and attempting to claim responsibility for his death, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
Earlier Sunday at 11:08 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian negotiator Mohammad Marandi mocked Graham's death. Subsequent reports at the same time indicated that Iranians were celebrating and threatening further assassinations, and that Iranian media channels were attempting to take credit for the death. At 11:37 Jerusalem, an opinion piece called for an investigation into possible Iranian poisoning of Graham, though the author expressed skepticism.
The 301 Arab World outlet has been cited by The Zioneer in previous reports, including a June 22 video of a killing confirmation. The tweet shared today was originally posted before Graham's death and is now being recirculated in the context of the assassination threats that were the subject of the tweet.
The tweet originates from a single source and has not been independently verified. The circumstances of Graham's death remain officially reported as cardiac arrest, with no independent confirmation of the poisoning claim.
