Trump Threatens to 'Decimate Iran' After Open Calls for Khamenei's Killing at Funeral

Donald Trump issued a stark warning that the U.S. military would 'completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran' following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral, where open calls for his killing were made. The remarks came after U.S. officials demanded Iran publicly declare the Strait of Hormuz open. Regional mediators attempted to salvage a Memorandum of Understanding amid alleged assassination plots.

Trump made the threat on his Truth Social platform, stating the U.S. military would 'completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran.' The-hindu reported the full extent of the threat, while npr and al-jazeera noted the context of U.S. demands and regional tensions. The-hindu says Trump's statement was a direct threat, while npr and al-jazeera frame it as part of a broader escalation amid alleged assassination plots and diplomatic efforts to preserve a fragile agreement.
