In an interview with Axios, US President Donald Trump commented on the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran. According to the American president, American troops are capable of "wiping them all out in one blow," but are refraining from doing so to preserve the opportunity for negotiations.
The comment came as people watched the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the outset of this year's US-Israeli military operation.
Trump again stated that the Iranians were asking him to make a deal.
President of the U.S.A:
We've paused for the funeral. One blow and we could wipe them all out, but we're not doing that. Otherwise, there'll be no one to negotiate with.
Trump added that he was surprised by the presence of many Iranians crying at the farewell ceremony for Ali Khamenei.
Trump:
Considering that many people hated him, it all seemed very strange.
As a reminder, multi-day mourning events have begun in Iran. High-ranking foreign dignitaries attended the farewell ceremony at the Mosalla complex: Iraqi President Nizar Amidi, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili, as well as delegations from China, India, Russia, and other countries. Dmitry Medvedev led the Russian delegation.
