The journalist shared a tweet by Graham mocking Iranian assassination threats and called for an investigation into his sudden death, raising the possibility of poisoning or biological assassination, according to the source.
Journalist Laura Loomer has called for a formal investigation into Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden death, suggesting possible Iranian poisoning. This call, made Sunday morning, follows her earlier social media posts speculating about Russian or Iranian involvement. Loomer reshared a tweet from the late senator mocking assassination threats and noted his recent visit to Ukraine. Her call adds to a growing public discussion, but remains an unverified assertion.
The Zioneer's reporting on Graham's death has evolved rapidly. At 09:10 Jerusalem, his office confirmed his death from a sudden illness. By 09:32, his official X account had confirmed the news. At 10:49, i24NEWS reported that the cause appeared to be cardiac arrest. At 11:17, three separate posts appeared on the same minute: Loomer's initial claim pointing to Russia or Iran, a more specific claim blaming Iran's IRGC using biological terrorism, and an opinion piece calling for an investigation. The opinion piece, published at 11:37, expressed skepticism but argued the possibility warrants examination. The official cause of death has not been disputed.
As The Zioneer has reported, Graham had been a prominent target of Iranian and Russian threats. On July 7, he responded to a photo from the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader calling for his elimination, saying 'Judge me by who my enemies are.' On Sunday, the Telegram outlet 301 Arab World shared a six-day-old tweet of Graham mocking assassination plots. President Trump also released a statement mourning Graham, calling him 'one of the greatest senators.'
Loomer's claims lack supporting evidence and contradict the official report of cardiac arrest. No official investigation has been announced. The cause of death remains as reported by his office and medical authorities.
