MAGA Senator Lindsey Graham Urges Trump To 'Just Kill' Iran's Leader As The Country Burns In Protest

Senator Graham calls for targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader amid protests where hundreds have died, framing it as a step to end Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism, officials said.

  • On Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox viewers he would 'kill the leadership that are killing the people' in Iran, urging Trump to act during 'Sunday Morning Futures' with Maria Bartiromo.
  • Economic hardship — rising food prices and currency devaluation — drove protests that spread across all 31 provinces, drawing millions amid steep inflation and the rial's collapse.
  • Amid a near-total internet blackout, human rights organisations report hundreds of deaths and more than 10,000 arrests as President Donald Trump said the US military is considering `very strong options`.
  • MAGA influencer Steve Bannon publicly rebuked Graham as `gross` and warned Israeli or American involvement could strengthen Tehran, while U.S. lawmakers noted international law prohibits targeted killings outside armed conflict.
  • Actor-first: Graham compared Iran's leader to historical tyrants and denounced Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a `modern-day Hitler` and `religious Nazi`, urging removal citing last week's Venezuela precedent to end Middle East terrorism.
