A female presenter on Iran's state television network congratulated the Iranian public on the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), according to Abu Ali Express. The broadcast, reported Sunday at 13:02 Jerusalem time, is the latest in a wave of official and semi-official Iranian expressions of celebration following Graham's sudden death. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Iranian media and officials celebrated the senator's death and threatened further assassinations. The presenter — who was not named in the report — addressed the public directly, marking a rare direct-to-camera congratulation by a state broadcaster. The incident underscores the hostile rhetoric emanating from Tehran toward figures associated with strong U.S.-Israel ties.
