President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States informed Iran it would not attack them during funeral proceedings, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The remark comes after a week-long lull in hostilities and amid a series of Trump statements on Iran.
President Donald Trump stated Wednesday that the US gave Iran assurances it would not attack them during the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, a monitored channel journalist Amichai Stein reported. The remark — 'we told the Iranians that we will not kill them at the funeral' — offers an explicit, on-the-record explanation for the week-long pause in US-hostilities that followed Khamenei's death.
The statement aligns with Trump's earlier mention, reported by The Zioneer on Saturday, that the US had 'given Iran a week-long pause for the funeral.' Trump has issued a flurry of statements on Iran this week, alternating between asserting American restraint and escalating rhetorical attacks, calling Iranians 'evil, mentally ill people' and 'sick people.' The funeral-pause framing, now articulated as a direct warning to Tehran, remains single-sourced via Stein; no independent confirmation from the White House or Pentagon has been published.
