Iranian state television aired a segment on Sunday evening that celebrated the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, calling it 'good news' and directing viewers to a full article. The broadcast marks the latest in a series of celebrations by Iranian state-linked media throughout the day.
The Zioneer first reported on the celebrations at 12:43 Jerusalem, when a state TV presenter congratulated the public on Graham's death. Within the same hour, direct quotes emerged of a presenter saying Graham 'went to hell' and labeling him a 'child murderer.' A subsequent segment saw a presenter re-read the news, stating, 'The news is so good I want to read it to you again.' The coverage escalated from initial reports by a single channel to multiple outlets using increasingly vitriolic language.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Iranian state-linked media have framed Graham's death as a victory, using terms such as 'warmonger' and 'child murderer.' The ongoing coverage has drawn attention to the regime's hostile stance toward the pro-Israel senator.
The full article referenced in the latest segment has not been detailed, and it remains unclear whether official state channels will continue the coverage or if further segments are planned.
