A new wave of controversy has erupted after US President Donald Trump made explosive remarks about Iran's leadership while Tehran held the state funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Speaking about the ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran, Trump claimed that Iran's top leadership had gathered at Khamenei's funeral and suggested that "one shot" could have eliminated them all. He added that he chose not to authorize such a strike because there would have been "nobody left to negotiate" with, linking his comments to the future of US-Iran diplomacy. Trump also claimed that Iran had temporarily suspended nuclear negotiations during the funeral ceremonies and asserted that both sides had agreed to pause discussions for about a week.

The funeral witnessed emotional scenes, with mourners carrying red flags symbolizing revenge and chanting slogans calling for retaliation.
