WATCH: Unreleased documentary footage shows Lindsey Graham extremely happy that Trump finally bombed Iran.

“Look what we’ve done here. I almost cried… How long have we been pushing this?” Graham says after U.S. strikes begin.

Graham also says Trump told him the strikes were the “best thing I have ever done” and that he “loves blowing stuff up.”

Trump:

No More Engines!

Alex Holder, the filmmaker behind an upcoming documentary about Lindsey Graham, said the senator appeared increasingly exhausted in the final weeks of his life.

When Holder asked if he was OK, Graham said he had no time to sleep because he still needed to topple Iran's regime, help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, and normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel by the end of the year.

According to filmmaker Alex Holder, Lindsey Graham grew increasingly frustrated with both the Trump administration and fellow Republicans over the Iran war.

Graham said he battled "a lot of people inside" who opposed U.S. involvement and lamented that few administration officials were publicly making the case for the conflict.

"Very few people are out selling this war from the administration. I'm shocked," Graham said.

Holder said Graham also became frustrated with Trump after the president signed a preliminary deal with Iran in June.

In their final interview, conducted at a bagel shop in Columbia, South Carolina, just weeks before Graham's death, the senator said Trump was becoming too hesitant.

"He's letting this thing slip away," Graham said. "I got to go talk to him."

Lindsey Graham planned to travel to Florida in early March to urge Trump to join Israel in bombing Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Before the trip, however, Netanyahu advised against expanding the conflict.

"We're concentrating right now on Iran," Netanyahu told Graham, warning that attacking Hezbollah could provoke a broader regional war.

Graham agreed, replying, "That's actually good counsel."

In early March, Lindsey Graham predicted Iran's regime would begin losing control of cities within "three to four weeks" and that greater Arab involvement would create "almost irreversible momentum."

The prediction ultimately proved incorrect.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett:

I will not allow a Palestinian state to be established. I will not give up territory. Period.

Even if peace with Saudi Arabia requires a Palestinian state, my answer is no.

Trump to WSJ:

We have far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need.

Trump has paused plans for a major U.S. air campaign against Iran while officials pursue diplomacy and assess concerns over dwindling U.S. air defense missile stocks.

Although the military had prepared strikes that could have lasted up to two weeks, the operation was delayed.

Military leaders are divided over whether lower Patriot interceptor inventories pose a significant risk, while Trump insists U.S. munitions remain more than sufficient.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

We should never be forced to choose between Israeli ambitions and Iranian ambitions in the region.

The region itself must have its own independent policy and its own independent identity.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

In its natural course, a national renaissance takes about 20 to 25 years before its full results become visible.

When we talk about Singapore, Rwanda today, Türkiye, or even the Gulf Cooperation Council countries—every country that has achieved this kind of success took time. It took around 20 to 25 years.

But that doesn't mean we have to wait 20 years before we see change in Syria. What matters is that the trajectory is upward.

Progress should become visible gradually. Every month there should be something new. Every two months there should be another achievement. These gains accumulate over time until we reach a new stage.

Then Syria will become comparable to—perhaps even surpass—many of these successful models.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

Let's distinguish between the SDF and the Kurdish people.

The Kurdish community is a large community spread across Syria; it is not confined to one specific area.

A segment of the Kurdish population had been denied Syrian citizenship under the previous regime.

This is an old issue that we inherited, but we were determined to resolve it. We issued a decree granting citizenship and nationality rights, and many have already received them.

Their cultural rights have also been recognized, and even their national celebration has been officially recognized as a public holiday in Syria.

Some parties tried to tie the SDF issue to the Kurdish issue, but we worked to separate the two tracks. We reached good results.

Agreements were signed several times, although they were not always implemented. In the latest agreement, implementation became more decisive.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon:

We are not considering military intervention. Rather, we are trying to help Lebanon.

Syria has several cards it can offer, and we place them at the disposal of the Lebanese state, which can use them as it sees fit.
