Overview
- Sen. Lindsey Graham posted a photo Monday showing President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One holding a signed 'Make Iran Great Again' hat.
- Graham later wore the signed hat on Fox News and said he hopes 2026 will be the year to 'make Iran great again.'
- Demonstrations have expanded to more than 220 locations across 26 provinces with at least 20 people killed and over 990 arrested, according to HRANA.
- The unrest grew from economic grievances after Iran introduced a new gasoline pricing tier in December that increased costs for subsidized fuel.
- Days before the photo, Trump warned on Truth Social that the United States was 'locked and loaded and ready to go' if demonstrators are killed.
