However, in filmmaker Alex Holder\u2019s upcoming documentary, <i>Lindsey\u2019s Game, <\/i>Graham revealed some candid thoughts on the status of the war several months later\u2014with the president not looking the best. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIran\u2014he\u2019s letting this thing slip away. We had them on the ropes, and his indecision is coming back to hurt us,\u201c Graham said in June, in a clip aired Monday on CNN. \u201dI\u2019ve got to go talk to him, you know? Open up the straits, keep the pressure on, unleash Israel to hurt them, and maybe you\u2018ll get a better deal. But the big deal\u2014Saudi, Israel&#8230; that\u2018s the big prize, and that can\u2018t happen until Israel and Saudi believe Iran can\u2018t be enough evil force\u2014that they have been put in a box.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Graham then told some \u201cgood news,\u201d which is that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have two things in common: \u201cThey owe Trump a lot, they like Trump, but they\u2018re afraid of Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 80-year-old commander-in-chief, he continued, \u201cis the first president who doesn\u2018t hold back when it comes to Israel. I mean, I think he\u2018s going a bit too far, but he will dress [Netanyahu] down in a way that no other Republican president has ever done. That gives him some credibility in the Arab world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham, a foreign policy hawk, also said that he intended to prove that \u201cisolationism is an outlier\u201d in the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this was a referendum on isolationism versus \u2018Lindsey Graham MAGA Trump,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Graham died a few weeks later in Washington, the day after returning from Kyiv, Ukraine. In announcing his death, Graham\u2019s office said he had had a \u201cbrief and sudden illness.\u201d According to a preliminary medical examiner finding, Graham suffered an aortic dissection, which is a tear of the inner wall of the aorta.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4386\">Netflix Exec Fired After Sharing Secret During Company\u2019s Trust Exercise<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the documentary, Graham was also critical of Trump\u2019s Middle East negotiators, Steve Witkoff, 69, and Jared Kushner, 45, the president\u2019s son-in-law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t do it with Jared, and I can\u2019t do it with Witkoff. They\u2019re just too conflicted,\u201d Graham told former President Joe Biden\u2019s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, according to The Wall Street Journal. <\/p>\n<p>Responding to a request for comment, a White House official told The Wall Street Journal that \u201cSteve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are excellent dealmakers whose results speak for themselves,\u201d defending the pair\u2019s role in the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Graham said, should instead handle negotiations\u2014a notion that has been raised in conservative circles by the likes of Fox News host Brian Kilmeade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re business guys,\u201d Kilmeade said on air July 9. \u201cThey have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can\u2019t have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Graham died a Trump ally, he was not always on board with the president. The senator, who had a brief run for president in 2016, called Trump a \u201cjackass\u201d and a \u201crace-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot\u201d during that campaign cycle. Within a few years, though, they were on the same page, and Graham campaigned for Trump in 2020 and 2024. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Graham also had Trump\u2019s ear in the lead-up to the Iran war, urging him to kill Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader in January. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4384\">Man Hikes 10 Miles After Impaling Himself in Freak Trekking Pole Accident<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsey Graham was skeptical of Donald Trump\u2019s handling of the Iran war in the weeks before he died.
