Iranian media channels are reportedly celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and attempting to take credit for it, according to a social media post. The report follows earlier unverified claims of Iranian celebrations over Graham's death earlier Sunday.
Sunday 11:33 Jerusalem — A new social media post circulating this morning reports that Iranian media channels are not only celebrating the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham but are also attempting to claim responsibility for his death. The post, which cites unspecified sources, represents an escalation from earlier reports of Iranian celebrations and threats.
As The Zioneer reported at 11:08 Jerusalem, Iranian negotiator Mohammad Marandi mocked Graham's death in a statement, and separate unverified reports claimed that Iranians were celebrating Graham's death and threatening further assassinations. A subsequent report at 11:12 Jerusalem reiterated similar claims of Iranian celebrations. Both reports were based on single sources and remained unverified.
The Zioneer has previously documented heightened Iranian rhetoric. On July 8, Iranian state television broadcast mourners at the funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei calling for the assassination of President Donald Trump and 'blood revenge.' On July 9, analyst Yossi Eliezer noted that Iranian written media emphasized coverage of a mass funeral in Iraq. Separately, at 11:18 Jerusalem, pro-Trump journalist Lara Lomer claimed that Russia or Iran may have poisoned Graham, urging an investigation—though this claim also remains unsubstantiated.
The claim of responsibility by Iranian media channels is based on a single social media post and has not been confirmed by Iranian authorities or U.S. officials. The cause of Graham's death, confirmed earlier Sunday, remains unverified, with multiple unsubstantiated claims circulating.
