After the funeral of Iran’s late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where attendees publicly called for his death, President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social that the U.S. military would inflict total destruction on Iran if the country attempted to assassinate him. The threat comes amid renewed hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, where officials blame a power struggle within Tehran for recent attacks on vessels that have shattered a fragile truce. The U.S. had demanded Iran publicly guarantee safe passage through the waterway, but Tehran’s U.N. ambassador insisted control rests solely with Iran. Shipping traffic has plunged, and diplomatic efforts to salvage the peace process are ongoing, with Israel stating it is prepared to re-engage militarily if needed.
