A documentary film shows Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pressing Saudi Crown Prince MBS to support a war against Iran, telling PM Netanyahu that normalization with Riyadh should follow the fall of the Iranian regime, and expressing frustration with President Trump's hesitation on the war. The revelations were reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
The documentary, reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), captures Sen. Graham's broad diplomatic campaign across multiple fronts: meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to solicit support for a military campaign against Iran, speaking with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and consulting with former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Middle East negotiations. In a conversation with PM Netanyahu, Graham argued that normalization with Saudi Arabia should be advanced after the fall of the Iranian regime, claiming he had already secured bipartisan backing. Netanyahu responded that the focus should be on Iran first. The film also reveals Graham's frustration with President Trump, particularly after Trump signed an interim agreement with Iran in June, and his criticism of administration officials he says resisted U.S. involvement in a war with Iran. The revelations come as the U.S. and Iran are reportedly nearing a deal, as The Zioneer has reported.
