A viral video showing Iranian protesters calling for action against U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has resurfaced following the senator's sudden death, triggering intense debate and widespread speculation online. The footage, which includes anti-Graham slogans and threats directed at U.S. leaders, is rapidly circulating across social media.
At this time, there is no public evidence or official finding linking Iran to Graham's death. Authorities have not announced any indication of foul play involving a foreign government. Nonetheless, the timing of the video's resurgence has fueled political discussion and renewed attention to escalating U.S.-Iran tensions.

00:20We have some targets here for you.
00:24Do you approve?
00:28Or this one?
00:37I'll go ahead and get started.
00:40You're entitled to your opinion.
00:42This is a free country.
00:44Whether you like President Trump or not, it's up to you.
00:47Your view of the war is up to you.
00:50But you're not entitled to your facts.
00:53You're entitled to the facts.
00:55And here are the facts.
00:57To my Democratic colleagues, I challenge you today to prove that I'm wrong.
01:04During the negotiations to find a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear problem, President Trump sent Steve Witkoff and Jared
01:16Kushner to negotiate with the Iranians.
01:19They say, Mr. President, all they want is peaceful nuclear power, the Iranians.
01:23They've been saying that.
01:25And they should be entitled to enrich, like other countries like us, a bunch of nations, enrich uranium for peaceful
01:31purposes.
01:32And they claim, why not us?
01:35Because you're cheap.
01:37The IAEA, not me, not Lindsey Graham, you have a history of not living up to what you say about
01:45your ambitions.
01:47That your enrichment facilities are not designed to produce peaceful power, but to produce a weapon.
01:52So during the negotiations, Witkoff and Kushner offered the Iranians, listen, if you'll give us your highly enriched uranium, we
02:03will guarantee you a lifetime fuel supply for free.
02:07That you can have all the spent fuel you need to operate a peaceful power program.
02:13You don't need to enrich.
02:15And if you want to enrich for medical purposes very limited, fine.
02:20But you can't have an enrichment program that would lead to making bomb-grade material.
02:27Because you're not reliable.
02:29And I would go a step further.
02:31It'd be like letting Hitler have anything.
02:37See, the difference between me and I think a lot of people here, maybe most Democratic colleagues, I think these
02:42guys are religious Nazis.
02:45Hitler wanted a master race.
02:47He wrote a book.
02:49Nobody believed him.
02:50He literally wanted to kill all the Jews and nobody believed him.
02:54The Ayatollah is the same.
02:55The regime is built around a cult of death.
02:57They want three things to purify Islam.
02:59They're Shiites.
03:00Their number one enemy is Sunni Arabs.
03:03They think they've got the faith wrong, that they're traitors to the faith.
03:08They hate Sunnis because they're not true to the faith.
03:11And Saudi Arabia believes it.
03:15So they want to purify Islam, bend it to their will, make every Sunni reject their view of Islam and
03:22accept the Ayatollah's view.
03:23That's what they say, not me.
03:26I believe it.
03:27Number two, they want to kill all the Jews.
03:30And they openly say it.
03:32They're not hiding their disdain for Israel.
03:35They actually talk about it.
03:37They put death to Israel on like milk cartons.
03:42These people are serious.
03:45And you should take them serious.
03:47Like in the 30s, people didn't want to believe that Hitler meant what he said.
03:51Because they were tired from World War I.
03:54And they said, oh, he's just all talk.
03:56He wants this.
03:57He wants that.
03:58He wants more German speaking territory.
04:00He's not completely crazy.
04:02You know, he's sort of just doing the Hitler thing.
04:05Well, he was completely crazy.
04:07Now, I don't know why he wanted to kill all the Jews.
04:10I don't know why Hitler thought the Aryan race is the only pure race on the planet.
04:15But a lot of people are dead because we got that wrong.
04:19Let's don't do that again.
04:21We're playing like World War II never actually happened.
04:24And you're rewriting this regime's history.
04:27From 1979, what have they done until today?
04:30What have they done to make you think they don't believe what they say?
04:35What behavior had they exhibited that they really do want to be normal?
04:40So during those negotiations, when they said no to every offer under the sun,
04:46they said something that was a fatal mistake for them.
04:51Oh, by the way, we have 460 kilograms of uranium at 60%.
05:00Now, why did they tell us that?
05:02They were trying to intimidate us and letting us know that if we don't bend to their will, we'll have
05:10a problem.
05:11Now, what's the problem?
05:13The difference between 60% and 90% enrichment is weeks, Mr. President, not months or years.
05:20And when you get to 90%, that's weapons grade enrichment.
05:25That material can be turned into a nuclear weapon.
05:29460 kilograms at 90% is enough to build 10 nuclear bombs.
05:37And I'm talking weeks, not months, to go from 60 to 90 and they were threatening to do it.
05:43So what did President Trump do?
05:46Instead of begging them not to, instead of giving them a bunch of money, bribing them not to,
05:53he blew up their enrichment facilities so they couldn't get to 90%.
05:57It's called Midnight Hammer.
05:58Mr. President, I'm glad you did and it's clear to me nobody in the Democratic Party would have done that.
06:05The question for my friends on the other side and critics within my own party,
06:09how could they have 60% enriched uranium at 460 kilograms without cheating?
06:16Everything you wanted to do to contain these people failed.
06:21The JCPO, every agreement that's been offered to restrict Iran's nuclear program failed
06:27if in fact they do have 460 kilograms of uranium at 60%.
06:34So here's my challenge.
06:37If you don't believe that's true, come to the floor and tell me why I'm wrong.
06:42We know that the material at 60% is under all the rubble of the enrichment facilities.
06:50And we're worried that somehow somebody's going to get it before we do.
06:54So it is a fact that they had produced enough uranium at 60%.
07:02That means they're cheating.
07:04Because there's no commercial purpose for uranium to be reached at 60%.
07:10None. Zero.
07:12You don't need that to run a nuclear power program.
07:14You need nothing beyond 20.
07:17To go to 60 means you're a threshold nuclear nation.
07:21Why 60?
07:22It's just a small jump to 90 and they want to intimidate and blackmail the world.
07:28So when they told us that, we got this much at 60.
07:33Trump said, well, that's all you're going to do because I'm going to take enrichment off the table.
07:38And thank God he did.
07:39That's it.
07:40Their enrichment program has been obliterated and they couldn't go to the 90.
07:46But I think they'll come back at it, Mr. President, one day if we don't deal with it now.
07:50So that's Midnight Hammer.
07:52Epic fury.
07:54What happened after we blew up the enrichment facilities?
07:58Within weeks, they were actually the Iranians trying to start over again, going deeper.
08:04What was the lesson they learned from Midnight Hammer?
08:08We're not deep enough in the ground.
08:10And here's the most telling thing.
08:13They were trying to create a new enrichment capability that did not require an air shaft.
08:20Now, why is that important?
08:23The bombs that were used, that were dropped on the enrichment facilities, went through the air shaft,
08:31penetrated and blew up the facilities deep underground.
08:35That's a testament to our air power.
08:37That the air shaft opening was about the size of a refrigerator.
08:41And we dropped bombs through those air shafts to obliterate the enrichment facilities they had.
08:49Instead of learning their lesson and let's sit down and talk about peaceful nuclear power,
08:53they went the other way.
08:54And that's just, I think that's a fact.
08:57So epic fury.
09:01If you do not see this as an imminent threat, then you're blind for your hatred of Trump.
09:09There are people on the left and people in my own party that are more afraid of Trump being successful
09:18than the Ayatollah having a nuclear weapon.
09:20That's sick.
09:22That is sick.
09:24That is sick.
09:24When Obama took out Bin Laden, I clapped like a seal.
09:30Every time he wanted to go into Syria, I was there with him and John McCain.
09:35I've tried to be bipartisan on such things.
09:38I never have ever introduced a resolution against a Democratic president under the Congressional War Powers Act
09:44to limit their ability to protect the nation ever because I think it's unconstitutional.
09:48I've never done to a Democrat what you constantly are doing to this Republican president.
09:53And when a Republican tried to do that, I objected.
09:57If you don't like what President Trump or any of the presidents doing in military matters, cut off the funding.
10:04We have the power of the purse.
10:06We could stop funding for these operations and that would be constitutional.
10:10What we can't do, in my view, is become the commander-in-chief.
10:14You can't have 535 people becoming the commander-in-chief, and that's what the War Powers Act does.
10:20After 60 days, if Congress doesn't approve, military action stops.
10:26Basically, under the Constitution, you can be commander-in-chief for only 60 days and Congress takes over.
10:32That's not what they had in mind.
10:33Let me tell you what the founders had in mind.
10:35A single person, the president, to be commander-in-chief and Congress to have the power of the purse and
10:43regulate the land and naval forces.
10:46That's the balance we've had all these years.
10:48And the War Powers Act is unconstitutional because it destroys that balance.
10:52But it doesn't mean Congress is out of the game.
10:56Literally, if you had a resolution or an appropriation bill denying funding for Epic Fury,
11:02I wouldn't agree with you, but you would be on sound constitutional grounds.
11:06Now, why do I oppose this?
11:08Not just because I think it's an infringement on the power of the president and overstepped by the Congress.
11:14I think it'd be really, quite frankly, dangerous not to finish this thing out.
11:19In 18 or 19 days, we have done a number on the ability of Iran to build ballistic missiles to
11:26hit us and our allies.
11:28And if you don't think they would, put yourself in the same category that miscalculated Hitler.
11:34What is it about the Iranians you think they really don't mean what they say?
11:37So we've destroyed that ability to build those missiles to come after us.
11:42And they were building 100 a month before we did this.
11:44The second thing is they have been funding Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, proxies.
11:52Hezbollah has a lot of American blood on its hand.
11:54Killed 220 Marines and sailors back in the 1980s when we were in Lebanon trying to help with that civil
12:01war.
12:02They attacked our barracks.
12:04There are a lot of American blood on the hands from Afghanistan, IEDs made in Iran.
12:09So these people have been in war with us since 1979.
12:13Finally, we're pushing back.
12:16Instead of doing deals that don't work, we're trying to eliminate the threat in a responsible way.
12:22What happens next in Iran?
12:24I think the people will have a chance down the road to decide that, not me, not you.
12:29We're not going to invade Iran.
12:30We're not going to do the Iraq-Afghanistan.
12:35There's no reason to.
12:37What we want to do militarily, Mr. President, is eliminate the threats.
12:41They can't fund proxies.
12:44They can't build nuclear weapons anymore.
12:48And they can't build missiles that would terrorize us in the region and Europe.
12:53When we accomplish those three things, here's what I think will happen.
12:58We will build on what President Biden started, which is normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
13:06Now, why is that big?
13:08Senator Booker's been great on this.
13:10He's gone with me when Biden was president.
13:14I was a Republican trying to build on the Abraham Accord, see if we could get Saudi and Israel to
13:19normalize,
13:20which would be the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
13:22It would be the biggest change in thousands of years.
13:24And I'd be willing to help President Biden.
13:27I was.
13:28And, you know, we had a bipartisan team.
13:31I was part of it.
13:32Well, October the 7th came along to stop that.
13:35Now, Mr. President, we were very close to having a breakthrough on normalization.
13:41Under President Biden, Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Brett McGurk, I went over there eight times, I think.
13:48We were close, but October the 7th was designed to stop what we were trying to do.
13:53It was a nightmare for the Iranians, I think, for the Arabs and the Israelis to make peace,
13:58because it changes the region forever, leaving them behind.
14:01So October the 7th was an attack by Hamas, but it couldn't happen without Iran stopping normalization.
14:07And it's worked to a great extent.
14:11The tolerance for a two-state solution in Israel was pretty low after October 7th.
14:16And the Arab world is pretty inflamed because of Gaza.
14:19But we can't let Iran win the day.
14:22So here's what I hope we can do.
14:25Keep this military campaign going.
14:27Weeks, not months.
14:29Continue to degrade the ability of the IRGC to terrorize their own people,
14:33to wreak havoc in the region.
14:35And we're going to take some blows.
14:37They still have a lot of drones.
14:38They still have missiles, but less every day.
14:41Gas prices up.
14:42No small thing for somebody trying to raise a family on limited income.
14:47But I believe, with all my heart, you pay now or you pay later with this regime.
14:52And we were a couple of weeks away from the Ayatollah and his crowd
14:55having weapons-grade material for 10 bombs.
14:59And you think things are bad now?
15:01I can only imagine what the world would look like if this madman and his regime actually had nuclear weapons.
15:07One, I think he would use it.
15:10If you don't believe he would kill all the Jews, that would be a mistake.
15:14Certainly the Jewish people believe that.
15:16And this idea that we were drug into the war by Israel, that's the oldest game literally in the book.
15:22If it weren't for the Jews, we'd all be better off.
15:25It's the Jews that are always getting us in trouble.
15:28What an offensive thing to say.
15:31Israel consulted with us.
15:32We do have common values and we have a common enemy.
15:36They don't just chant death to Israel.
15:38They chant death to America, the Iranian regime.
15:41They got our blood on their hands, just not Israeli blood.
15:44So the idea that somehow that President Trump got hoodwinked by the Jews is like enough already.
15:51If you know anything about President Trump, nothing could be further than the truth.
15:56And you're just giving life to the idea that's been around for like 2,000 years with the Jewish people.
16:01Enough.
16:03So what I hope will happen, Mr. President, we'll be steady.
16:07American people, there's going to be some pain.
16:09The region, you're going to get hit again.
16:12We've lost soldiers.
16:14God bless them.
16:15God bless the wounded.
16:16A couple hundred.
16:17And casualties may increase.
16:20But the only thing I can tell you about the military from my time being around it, which is most
16:25of my adult life, the worst thing you can do to a military unit is ask them to sacrifice and
16:29not finish the job.
16:31You want to help the military?
16:32Let them finish the job they believe in, that is necessary, and you get nothing for finishing second in a
16:40war with mad people.
16:43Crazy people.
16:45And if you don't think the regime is built around a cult of death, then you missed a lot.
16:50They want a religious world that they run.
16:58They want a religious master race, not an Aryan ethnic master race.
17:05They want to dominate the world through their faith.
17:08And that, too, should scare you.
17:11I don't intend to bend to their will.
17:14I don't think Sunni Arabs are.
17:16And you know what?
17:17Most Iranians don't buy that.
17:19But they've been killed by the tens of thousands.
17:23They've had it, too.
17:24So I think we're close, Mr. President, to weakening the regime to the point that we can start again with
17:33normalization talks between Saudi and Israel,
17:36Israel, which would be the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the biggest change in 2,000 years.
17:41And if they can't do another October 7th, then I think we may get there, building on what was done
17:48by the past administration.
17:50So just think about it.
17:52We're not going to get a normalization deal that doesn't have a Palestinian component.
17:56Because MBS, the leader of Saudi Arabia, can't recognize Israel that he finds some dignified solution for the Palestinians that
18:04Israel can live with.
18:06And he wants a defense agreement with us because he wants to come our way, not Turkey, not Pakistan, a
18:12mutual defense agreement.
18:14Well, to my Democratic friends, entertain the idea of helping us get there.
18:19But you should insist that there's something there for the Palestinians.
18:24And we all have a chance here to make history.
18:27A few more weeks, not a few more months, we should be at the point, in my view, that we
18:34can start where we ended before.
18:37And Iran's efforts to deny real peace to the region will have failed.
18:41First, Karg Island.
18:43Seldom in the history of warfare has a country or a warring opponent had a single point of failure.
18:52All their money comes from oil and gas in Iran, the regime.
18:56And all the infrastructure virtually is on a single island.
19:00If you control that island, you control the destiny of the income to continue this war.
19:06And remember what I said.
19:09I don't know what President Trump's going to do.
19:11As to this resolution, I have a lot of admiration for Senator Booker.
19:16We're going to be friends and we'll work together where we can.
19:20I think this is the wrong signal at the wrong time.
19:23I never believed it was constitutional.
19:26I never did it as a Democratic president.
19:28But we do not need to do this because if we stop now, then we're going to pay a heavy
19:35price later.
19:35The worst possible outcome is for those 32,000 people to go to the streets and die for nothing.
19:43The worst possible outcome is to suffer and not get it right.
19:48They have a pair of twos and we have a full house.
19:51It's not a card game, but we're in a good spot.
19:54To those who have lost their lives and been injured, you died in the service of your country, making the
20:03world safer.
20:04And that's what military people sign up for.
20:06And to those who have been injured, you've been hurt trying to stop something that matters.
20:11This is not a foolish endeavor.
20:16This is something that had to be done because they were going to break out if we didn't stop them.
20:23We were really a couple of weeks away from them having enough uranium at 90% to make 10 bombs.
20:33And the world would have changed in a blink of eye.
20:35So I'm going to oppose this resolution.
20:38I'm going to support President Trump's plan to continue to defang the regime.
20:44And I join with my Democratic colleagues if they would like.
20:48And if Saudi Arabia and Israel want to talk about changing the Mideast forever,
20:53I would encourage you to do what I did.
20:56Let's all work together to bring about the biggest change in 2,000 years.
21:00And the reason we didn't get there in the last administration is because October 7th.
21:06It wasn't any fault of anybody else.
21:09This attack was designed to stop everything we tried before.
21:14And it would be a shame and a tremendous missed opportunity in history to let the Iranians deny the region
21:26something I think they really want to move forward, not backward.
21:31And I'll end with this.
21:32To the American people, I know it's tough.
21:37I know the economy on the gas front is hurting.
21:41But I do believe this with every ounce of my being.
21:44If we had not done this, they would be on the path, the Iranian regime, to a nuclear capability and
21:52they would use it.
21:53Eventually, they would use it or give it to somebody who would.
21:58They're no different than Hitler except this.
22:01Hitler wanted a master race to run this world.
22:04And he was denied only after about 50 million people died.
22:10This regime wants a master religion to dominate this world.
22:15I don't know why, but I believe them.
22:20And we're so close to getting this right.
22:24And since 1979, this regime has been built around a call to death.
22:30A 16-year-old girl was killed last year for not having the headscarf on right, drug off a bus
22:37and beat to death.
22:37The people have been in the streets, Mr. President, slaughtered by tens of thousands.
22:43Let's not let this moment pass.
22:46Let's, in a responsible way, keep weakening this regime, giving the people down the road a chance to have a
22:52new Iran.
22:54Stand with our allies.
22:56Finish the job.
22:57And if you do it right, a gateway to peace will open up.
23:03And the biggest thing you can say to those who sacrificed, were hurt, and died because of what you did,
23:11you created an avenue for peace that is going to change the world.
23:17So I will be voting no, but I'm going to do more than vote no.
23:21I'm going to support an outcome that will change the world.
23:25The day this regime no longer can wreak terror and havoc is a good day, and we're close to that.
23:32And the day we can get back to the peace table between Saudi Arabia and Israel will be a wonderful
23:38day.
23:38The center of Islam, Senator Booker, is Saudi Arabia.
23:42That's where the Holy Mosque of Mecca and Medina are.
23:44And this young man, MBS, has made a decision to go a different way, and I've had my problems with
23:51him,
23:51but I really do think he's made a decision to go a different way that will benefit the region and
23:58the world.
23:59And I hope the Israeli people understand, if you want true peace, lasting peace, you've got to deal with your
24:07neighbors.
24:08Abraham Accords tells me they're willing to deal with their neighbors.
24:11Let's don't let October 7th be the final chapter.
24:16Let's make sure we punch through what happened on October 7th, and we punch through right now to get the
24:24conflict in a spot where we can truly have peace.
24:27Last thought, you'll never have peace in the Mideast.
