Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said in response to the death of US Senator Lindsey Graham that “Azrael is just,” referring to the angel of death in Islamic tradition.

Axar.az reports, citing Iran International, Esmaeil Baghaei accused the late senator of building his political life around war, violence and support for mass killings in the Middle East.

“The death of this hot-tempered and foul-mouthed senator will certainly not grieve any free human being,” Baghaei said.

It should be noted that U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham died at the age of 71. He was known for his hardline stance toward Iran.
