Laura Loomer, a journalist close to President Trump, accused Russia or Iran of poisoning Senator Lindsey Graham, calling for a thorough investigation. She cited Graham's recent visit to Ukraine and a Russian delegation at the Khamenei funeral where calls to kill Trump and Graham were made, according to her statement.
At 13:18 Jerusalem, journalist Laura Loomer, who is close to President Trump, explicitly accused Russia or Iran of poisoning Senator Lindsey Graham, calling for a thorough investigation. She cited Graham's visit to Ukraine the day before his death, where he reportedly pushed for sanctions on Russia, and the presence of a Russian delegation at the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, where attendees called for the assassination of Trump and Graham. This escalation follows Loomer's earlier statement at 12:30 Jerusalem, in which she called for a probe into Graham's death and suggested Iranian involvement but did not explicitly name Russia.
Earlier, at 11:17 Jerusalem, the desk first reported a claim by a journalist named Lara Lomer (apparently the same person, with spelling later corrected) that Russia or Iran may have poisoned Graham, citing the same evidence. Within minutes, additional versions of the report appeared: at the same time, a version attributed to Lomer specified the IRGC's involvement, and an opinion piece also called for an investigation. The official cause of death remains reported as cardiac arrest. The Zioneer reported on July 1 that calls to assassinate Trump erupted during Khamenei's funeral, and on July 7 that Graham had responded to a photo calling for his elimination, saying, "At least they used a good picture of me."
The claims remain unverified and are based solely on Loomer's statements. No official source has corroborated the poisoning allegation, and the discrepancy between the initial report at 11:17 Jerusalem (which named Russia or Iran) and Loomer's later focus on Iran at 12:30 Jerusalem remains unexplained.
