What was said
"Iranian state media of course were ecstatic at Lindsey Graham's death because Graham had been a longtime critic of the Islamic revolutionary regime in Iran. They put out a statement, quote, I would like to offer my congratulations to the great nation of Iran on Lindsey Graham reaching the depths of hell. I offer my congratulations to the great nation of Iran on the death of this warongering and anti-Iranian American senator."
Ben Shapiro reports that Iranian state media issued congratulatory statements following Senator Lindsey Graham's unexpected death, celebrating the passing of the longtime Iran critic and calling him warmongering. Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin also celebrated and baselessly speculated that Israeli intelligence was responsible. Shapiro uses this foreign response to argue Graham's enemies reveal his character.
