Lindsey Graham Giddy Over Trump's Iran Strikes in New Documentary Footage

Previously unreleased documentary footage shows late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham expressing glee over the US decision to bomb Iran, calling it a 'game' and comparing President Trump to FDR and Israeli PM Netanyahu to Churchill. The footage, captured by British filmmaker Alex Holder since 2023, also reveals a phone call where Graham and Netanyahu discuss lobbying Trump to expand the conflict. The article notes that 21 weeks into the Iran war, at least 18 US service members have been killed and over 600 wounded, while rising oil costs have strained the US economy. Republicans are reportedly losing confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership amid the war's lack of progress.
