Peloni: Sen. Lindsey Olin Graham (1955–2026) was an important voice among supporters of Israel and America Jews. He provided an important voice against Islamists and Iran, and he held a senior position within the American Right which often enough gave his voice an import resonance with Trump.
There is a rumor being spread about Graham having been poisoned, but there is little beyond speculation to support this suspicion. This being stated, the timing of Graham’s death in relation to the threat raised against him by the Iranians adds to this speculation, something which was echoed by Graham in a eerie post which Erin Molan describes in the video below. While any conclusion of foul play at this point is entirely speculative, it is noteworthy that the Iranians were noted to have hatched a number of assassination plots against Trump (at least two in fact) and key members of his former administration, and one Iranian assassin, who now faces life in prison, was actually convicted this past March for trying to hire an undercover FBI agent to assassinate Trump. This, along with the recent spate of public threats against Trump, various heads of state in the Middle East and Europe, along with Sen. Graham and others, all the more directs our attention to the fact that this regime is too radical, too dangerous, and too destabilizing to remain in place. Sen. Graham never lost sight of this fact, and worked to his final days to try to address it.

Israel has lost one of its greatest friends. America has lost a great patriot. I have lost a beloved friend.

Statement by Rezah Pahlavi on Sen. Graham’s passing:
At moments when moral clarity was required, Senator Graham stood on the right side. When friends were seldom found, he stood alongside the people of Iran in their struggle against tyranny.
He used his voice to ensure that the voices of those fighting for justice were heard in the halls of power. His support for Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution earned him the title “Uncle Lindsey” among Iranians. He will be remembered with profound gratitude and deep respect.
We extend our deepest condolences to Senator Graham’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and the people of South Carolina and the United States.
May he rest in peace and may others carry on the fight for freedom.”
Statement by Min. of Internal Security, Ben Gvir on Sen. Graham’s passing:
Senator Lindsey Graham stood with Israel not because it was easy, but because he believed it was right. His unwavering support, courage, and moral clarity earned him the admiration of millions of Israelis.
The State of Israel will always remember his friendship, his unwavering support, and his steadfast commitment to Israel’s security.
Heartfelt condolences to his family and to the American people.
May his memory be a blessing.
Minister of Defense, Israel Katz on Sen. Graham’s passing :
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a true friend of the State of Israel and one of its strongest and most steadfast supporters.
Throughout the years, Senator Graham stood with Israel in its most difficult moments, worked tirelessly to strengthen the strategic alliance between Israel and the United States, and was an unwavering voice in support of Israel’s security and its right to defend itself.”
Former Israeli PM, Naftali Bennett on Sen. Graham’s passing:
I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Senator Lindsey Graham. America has lost a devoted patriot, and Israel has lost one of its greatest friends.
Stephen Miller on Sen. Graham’s passing:
At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”
I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.
As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.
When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.
Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.
He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.
Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.
Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.
The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.
There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.
He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.
More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.
We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.
Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.
Godspeed, my friend.


The IRGC took credit for it on Iranian State TV but as Mahyar Tousi points out, they, like ISIS before it have been known to take credit for unrelated terror attacks around the world. On the other hand, As {allegedly} with Russia, they have been known to use undetectible poison as a method of assassination {though why make it detectible, if they are going to take credit for it?} – Tousi TV

Who killed Lindsey Graham? Was it Putin, Iran, the muslim brotherhood, the democrats or the woke Reich?
Such a strong life force, and such a force for good. I am very sad. I hope that the autopsy – if they do one – is released and all the occurances leading up to his death are thorougly investigated.
Just wondering, but is it possible the kind of electronic manipulations used in Cuba against US diplomats could have been used? I believe they were used in other countries too against our personnel.
It is also chilling that Pres. Trump is making public preparations now for the possibility of being killed by Iran.
Senator Lindsay Graham, a great American patriot and friend to Israel, dies a day after being in Ukraine to negotiate a peace settlement from a brief and sudden illness. I want to see the autopsy results.
