Lindsey Graham was skeptical of Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran war in the weeks before he died.

Graham, who died on July 11 at 71, had been a strong advocate of military intervention in Iran, which Trump began in late February but has failed to end.

However, in filmmaker Alex Holder’s upcoming documentary, Lindsey’s Game, Graham revealed some candid thoughts on the status of the war several months later—with the president not looking the best.

“Iran—he’s letting this thing slip away.

We had them on the ropes, and his indecision is coming back to hurt us,“ Graham said in June, in a clip aired Monday on CNN. ”I’ve got to go talk to him, you know?

Open up the straits, keep the pressure on, unleash Israel to hurt them, and maybe you‘ll get a better deal.

But the big deal—Saudi, Israel... that‘s the big prize, and that can‘t happen until Israel and Saudi believe Iran can‘t be enough evil force—that they have been put in a box."
