Trump ally and far-right activist Laura Loomer has sparked fresh controversy after urging Israel to carry out strikes during the funeral of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In a series of social media posts, Loomer described the funeral as a "target-rich environment" and encouraged the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to act. She later said she would support any opportunity to see the US or Israel target "jihadis." Her remarks quickly drew criticism online and added to tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. (PC: HT)
