New Footage Shows Graham Describing Push for War With Iran as ‘the Best Thing I’ve Ever Done’

The footage shows Graham celebrating the strikes, predicting regime collapse within weeks, and saying Trump was eager for more bombing.

  • Recently surfaced documentary footage captures the late Senator Lindsey Graham celebrating the start of the Iran war, laughing as U.S.-Israeli strikes commenced and calling the operation his "proudest achievement."
  • The footage reveals Graham's years-long campaign to persuade President Donald Trump to strike Iran, with Graham telling filmmakers that Trump was "jacked" at the war's start and called it the "best thing I've ever done."
  • While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged caution, Graham pushed for a broad offensive to topple Iran's regime, lobbying for military action that exceeded Netanyahu's strategy on a March 4 phone call.
  • Five months into the conflict, the war has resulted in more than 3,500 Iranian deaths and 18 U.S. service member fatalities, while costing taxpayers at least $37 billion according to Pentagon estimates.
