Trump says US gave Iran 'a week off' for funeral of Iran' late supreme leader amid stalled talks
Trump said Iran is eager to negotiate after the conflict, as Tehran began a weeklong funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and talks were delayed.
- As Iran begins dayslong funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the event has become a focal point for mourning and tensions involving Iran, Washington, and Israel, with proceedings concluding July 9 in Mashhad.
- Iranian authorities delayed funeral ceremonies for months because of conflict and security concerns, making these among the largest public events in the Islamic Republic since the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989.
- President Donald Trump addressed the funeral during an America 250 celebration in South Dakota on Friday, telling the crowd, "We knocked the hell out of Iran. We gave them a week off for a funeral because we're nice."
- On July 2, Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned Washington and Jerusalem against any "miscalculation" as authorities imposed airspace restrictions over Tehran and Mashhad.
- Diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran are expected to resume after the commemorations conclude, though the ceremonies serve as a backdrop for questions about whether diplomacy can continue after the leader's three-decade tenure.
