Newly released documentary footage shows the late Senator Lindsey Graham advocating for the United States war effort against Iran and offering military intervention to Israeli leaders before his death.
The videos, filmed over several years for the documentary project "Lindsey's Game," provide an inside look at Graham's private lobbying with President Donald Trump and international leaders after hostilities broke out on February 28, 2026.

Reports from CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Middle East Eye, and The Daily Beast detail the footage, which captures Graham speaking with staff, foreign dignitaries, and senior administration officials about Middle East strategy.
Graham's Push for Wider Conflict
In a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Graham proposed expanding military support beyond Iran into Lebanon.
"I'm going to meet with the president this weekend. I'm going down to Doral," Graham said.
"I'm going to try to get him to join with y'all in Lebanon to maybe fly some with you.
Would you like that?"
Netanyahu cautioned against immediate involvement in Lebanon, urging focus on the main Iranian front.
"We're concentrating right now on Iran," Netanyahu said.
"If we tell Hezbollah that we're going all the way, we threaten them, but if we actually do it, then they have no reason not to go all the way against us.
That's not our interest."
In other clips, Graham expressed excitement about the military campaign and reflected on his long push for intervention.
"It's the best thing I've ever done. He loves blowing stuff up," Graham said, referring to Trump.
