01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran attacked three ships after he agreed to a funeral pause requested by Tehran. The remarks, reported Wednesday afternoon, add new detail to his earlier claim that the U.S. agreed not to strike Iran during a funeral. Trump also said he does not believe any deal with Iran will hold. The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. airstrikes on Iran and a series of Trump statements on the conflict. The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday that Trump said the U.S. told Iranians 'we will not kill you at the funeral.'
