Congress Convenes as U.S. Conducts Strikes; Senator Graham Dies

Lawmakers have reconvened in Washington, D.C., as news of U.S. military actions in Iran emerged. This week also brought the announcement of the death of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away at 71.

Graham served as a Republican senator representing South Carolina. He had previously been a vocal critic of Donald Trump during the former president's initial candidacy. Following Trump's election, Graham became a consistent supporter of the president.

Simultaneously, the United States military carried out strikes in Iran. This development coincided with the return of Congress to its legislative duties.
