Trump: Iran Asked Me Not to Attack During the Funeral

CoinFeed reported on July 8, U.S. President Trump said during the NATO summit: "Iran asked me not to attack during Khamenei's funeral, we agreed, but they attacked 3 ships from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Honestly, we could have killed all Iranian leaders during Khamenei's funeral, and Defense Secretary Hegseth also expressed appreciation for this idea." Iranian Supreme Leader's Foreign Affairs Advisor Velayati said on social media that Iran had previously warned, "The region is not a place for small countries to engage in political gambling." He said Iran has repeatedly proven that any adventurous act will be met with an immediate response. Velayati stated that the responsibility for the recent tensions lies with the relevant parties, who have publicly admitted to rescinding the relevant memorandum of understanding, which had already been repeatedly violated in practice. He said this move once again pushes the regional situation to the brink of danger.
