U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has hailed the reported killing of senior Iranian figure Ali Larijani, describing it as a significant setback for Iran’s leadership and security structure.
In a statement shared on his verified social media account, Graham characterized Larijani as one of the central figures behind what he called the repression of the Iranian people. He alleged that Larijani played a key role in maintaining the country’s internal security system, which he accused of targeting both citizens and regional opponents.
“One of the chief oppressors of the Iranian people… is no more,” Graham said, adding that the development represents a major turning point in the ongoing conflict.
The senator went further to describe the operation as the “biggest blow” to Iran’s leadership in years, suggesting that it could have far-reaching implications for the country’s political and military stability.
According to Graham, Larijani’s removal weakens the structure of Iran’s security apparatus, which he said has been instrumental in enforcing the authority of the government.
“His demise puts further pressure on the regime as they continue to lose their first and second layer of leadership,” he stated.
Graham also praised those responsible for the operation, calling it an “amazing military action” and commending the forces involved.
The reported killing comes amid escalating hostilities between Iran and its adversaries, including the United States and Israel. In recent weeks, the region has witnessed a surge in air strikes, drone attacks, and targeted operations aimed at key military and political figures. Read_More…
