Trump issued a warning on July 10: “If I’m assassinated, I will unleash indiscriminate bombing on Iran.” No one expected that on July 12, the hardline power-broker, U.S. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, suddenly died, shocking the world—could Khamenei really be calling people out by name?!

During an interview last Friday, U.S. President Trump said: “If Iran successfully carries out its plan to assassinate me, I’ve already left instructions—if anything happens, then go straight to bombing Iran on an unprecedented scale.” When asked about this week’s Israeli reports regarding intelligence about an assassination plot against the U.S. president, Trump said Iran had no new plans—but added that Tehran has wanted his life for years. From Trump’s remarks, it feels like he may have sensed something in the air.

Two days later, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of the U.S. suddenly died. For a moment, rumors swirled everywhere; the most shocking claim was that he was killed by a Russian strike while visiting a facility producing drones for Ukraine, and then—after a medical plane flew from Poland to bring him back to the United States—he still didn’t make it.

Yesterday, officials disclosed the cause of death: a sudden death from an aortic dissection. Trump: he spoke by phone with him that night, after Graham had just returned from Ukraine, and he “seemed a bit tired.” This confirmed Graham’s sudden death, while denying other rumors.

U.S. Republican “hawkish” Sen. Lindsey Graham has close ties with Trump and is widely seen as a push behind the U.S. starting a war with Iran. Months ago, he called for the U.S. military to take Iran’s Qhalk Island. He said he believes in U.S. troops, claiming that “since the U.S. military won the Battle of Sulfur Island, it can also take Qhalk Island.” $BNB
