Senator Lindsey Graham's death marks the passing of a hawkish voice who spent decades advocating military confrontation with Iran, arming anti-government rioters, and maintaining exceptionally close ties with the Israeli regime, yet his uncompromising legacy ultimately failed to produce the outcomes he sought.

Iranian clerics call for assassination of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu

Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings reacts to Iran’s most senior clerics calling for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “What you have in Iran is a kind of split between the extremists in charge and an even more extreme bunch of clerics who want to continue the fight,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “I think an enormous problem on the desk of the President is do we start military conflict again, or do we now live with, bizarrely, a stronger Iran? “It’s not a good outcome for the United States.”

Senate Passes Resolution Rebuking Trump100+ Former Judges Seek Todd Blanches War With Iran

Four Republicans broke ranks with Senate Republicans today and voted with the Democrats to pass a resolution directing Trump to end the Iran war. Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Bill Cassidy Republicans ditched their party and voted against Demented Donald. As you may have guessed, Sen. John Fetterman voted with Republicans. The NY Times, Tuesday’s vote marked the first time since the enactment of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 that both chambers of Congress have approved a concurrent resolution directing a president to end a military conflict. Unfortunately, this isn't a binding resolution, but it does give Trump another black eye in the media which he will loathe. read more

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has died suddenly at the age of 71. He served four terms in the U.S. Senate from South Carolina from January 3, 2023 until his death on July 11, 2026.I will remember him as a U.S. lawmaker who, in my view, betrayed not only the United States but also many of the principles he claimed to stand for. I will not mourn someone whose public record I view as being marked by support for war, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and policies that I believe caused immense suffering.Here are my reasons:

The sea of mourners in Tehran sent a message to the United States and Israel that their attempt to break the Islamic Republic had failed. Rather than looking weakened by the war that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28, Iran presented itself as defiant, unified and determined to shape what comes next.
