State-linked Iranian television continues to celebrate the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, with a presenter reportedly reading the news again and saying the report is 'so good' it deserves repeating. The development follows earlier celebrations Sunday by Iranian media outlets.
Iranian state-linked television continued celebrating the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday afternoon, with a presenter reportedly reading the news a second time and saying, 'The news is so good that I want to read it to you again.' The report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) comes about two hours after The Zioneer's first bulletin on the celebrations (14:00 Jerusalem) and shortly after an article summarizing the vitriolic language used by Iranian outlets.
Earlier, at 12:43 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported multiple Iranian state media reactions: a female presenter congratulated the public on Graham's death, a quote emerged calling him a 'warmonger' who 'went to hell,' and outlets labeled him a 'child murderer.' These initial reports were sourced to Abu Ali Express and other monitors. By 14:00, The Zioneer published a bulletin consolidating the language, and a full article followed at 14:01. Separately, at 13:59 Jerusalem, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published an image hinting at involvement in Graham's death, though that claim remains unverified.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Graham died of an apparent heart attack. Israeli leaders, including President Donald Trump (quoted via ynet) and Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, eulogized him as a staunch ally. The IRGC image and the celebratory broadcasts have not been matched by an official Iranian government statement.
The latest development—the presenter's repeated reading—adds to a pattern of public glee from Iranian state media, but it does not clarify the regime's stance or the veracity of the IRGC's hinted involvement. No independent confirmation of the IRGC's role has emerged.
