U.S. President Donald Trump said American strikes had “knocked the hell out of Iran” as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attended a public funeral for senior military commanders and nuclear scientists killed during the recent conflict. Trump claimed the attacks severely damaged Iran’s nuclear programme but added that negotiations with Tehran could resume if Iran agreed to strict conditions. The remarks came amid renewed diplomatic efforts to ease tensions following weeks of military escalation between the two countries. Iran has not accepted Trump's claims, while regional and global powers continue urging restraint and a return to diplomacy. (PC: X)
