Iranian news channels are amplifying remarks by US Senator Lindsey Graham, asserting that the US has admitted to making a mistake if the current Iranian government survives the ongoing war.
Iranian media channels are aggressively amplifying statements from US Senator Lindsey Graham regarding the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Coverage focuses heavily on the objective of regime change, framing Graham's remarks as a preemptive admission of American failure if the Iranian state survives the war.
The alert-focused and highly sensationalist channel خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری circulated a quote from the US Senator, reporting that Graham stated: "If the Iranian government is still in power after all these events come to an end, we have made a mistake!"
آخرین خبر, a prominent Iranian news aggregator that frequently amplifies nationalist and state-aligned narratives, featured the exact same quote. However, the outlet explicitly framed the statement in its headline as an "admission by Lindsey Graham to America's mistake in the war with Iran."Both channels used identical Farsi phrasing to describe Graham's role in the conflict. Referencing a Wall Street Journal report, both sources labeled Graham as the main encourager of Donald Trump to bring America into a war with Iran. By utilizing this specific framing, the Iranian outlets present a domestic narrative that portrays US leadership as the aggressive instigators of the conflict while simultaneously mocking the potential failure of their ultimate objectives.
Both channels use verbatim text to describe Graham's role and his quote, indicating a likely shared syndicated source or a unified domestic talking point. The translation preserves the Iranian media's specific characterization of Graham as the 'main encourager' of the war.
