Trump Threatens to 'Wipe Out Everyone' at Khamenei's Funeral
Trump says he could target Iran’s remaining leaders but will keep talks going as negotiations pause during the funeral period.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump claimed the United States could eliminate Iran's surviving leadership with "one shot" during the funeral for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but stated he refrained to preserve diplomatic channels with Tehran.
- Funeral processions for the late Khamenei commenced Friday in Tehran, following his death in joint US-Israeli air strikes on February 28. Trump has repeatedly taunted Tehran despite ongoing indirect negotiations between the two countries.
- Trump voiced astonishment at the funeral, stating "Maybe it's fake tears," prompting Iran's embassy in Armenia to accuse the President of lacking "civilization, history and honor." Ali Abdollahi warned the U.S. against any "miscalculation."
- Both sides agreed to pause military strikes and negotiations for about a week until Khamenei's funeral concludes, though indirect talks on nuclear and regional issues continue in Doha. The President claimed "The Iranians are begging to make a deal."
- Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, will avoid the funeral ceremonies due to security risks from Israeli threats. The White House indicated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested a meeting with Trump in the near future.
