An Iranian state television presenter was quoted as saying that U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch pro-Israel ally, 'went to hell,' according to a report Sunday. The unnamed presenter thanked the Iranian nation for Graham's death, calling him a 'warmonger.'
Senator Lindsey Graham's death was confirmed earlier Sunday, with i24NEWS reporting cardiac arrest. The Zioneer covered the story throughout the day, including tributes from President Trump and Israeli leaders, and a prior bulletin at 13:03 Jerusalem noting an Iranian state TV presenter's congratulations.
A new report from the source now provides the full quote from the unnamed presenter. On state television, she said: 'I want to congratulate the great Iranian nation that Lindsey Graham, the anti-Iranian warmonger US senator, went to hell.' The remark reflects the regime's deep animosity toward Graham, a leading Republican voice for confronting Iran.
The presenter's identity and the exact broadcast context remain unclear. The report is based on a single source.
