A Republican US senator, Lindsey Graham, is dead.
His death was announced early on Sunday in a post by his office on his official X account.
“On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness…” the office stated.
Mr Graham, 71, a veteran senator, is notorious for often urging the US to go to war, especially wars that favour Israel. He had repeatedly stated in the past that part of his job as an American senator was to protect Israel’s interests.
He is one of the senators who staunchly supported the recent US/Israel war against Iran.
