According to reports, Iranian media and officials are celebrating the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, with some threatening that he is only the first in a series of assassinations. The claims come shortly after other figures called for an investigation into his sudden death.
Iranian sources are reportedly celebrating the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham and threatening that he is only the first in a series of assassinations, according to reports circulating in Iranian media and social networks. The specific source of the threats is not identified, but the language suggests official or semi-official channels.
The development follows earlier reactions to Graham's death. Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that journalist Laura Loomer called for an investigation into Graham's sudden death, suggesting possible Iranian poisoning. Graham had also previously responded to an image at the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader that called for his elimination, saying 'At least they used a good picture of me.'
The claims of Iranian celebration and threats remain unverified by independent sources. U.S. officials have not commented on the reports. The circumstances of Graham's death are still under investigation.
