01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran requested a pause for a funeral before launching missiles, justifying recent US strikes, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).

Earlier today, The Zioneer reported at 16:28 that Trump said the US 'took down 28 small boats' yesterday and would 'probably' strike Iran tonight, and at 16:29 that he said Iran 'deserves to get hit' after asking for a pause and then firing. The new N12 report adds the specific sequence: a funeral break request followed by missile fire.

The remarks continue a pattern of escalating rhetoric as the US-Iran military confrontation persists. No official Iranian response to this specific statement has been reported yet.
