(Central News Agency, Washington, 4th Comprehensive Foreign News Report) U.S. President Trump told the news website Axios today that he is paying close attention to the funeral of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamini, adding that the two sides will not open fire on each other during this period, and that the two countries will continue negotiations after the funeral. The United States and Israel jointly launched a war against Iran at the end of February, and Ali Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the war. Axios reported that Donald Trump said the Iranians were “begging for a deal,” but the United States and Iran decided to suspend negotiations for a week and resume talks after Khamini’s funeral and related ceremonies. Trump pointed out that the United States and Iran will not open fire on each other during this period. He said: “They are all gathered there. One shot (can take them all out), but we will not do that because then no one can negotiate with us.” Trump also mentioned that he was surprised to see some Iranian people crying at the funeral because he thought everyone hated Khamini. “Maybe it was a fake cry,” he said after thinking for a moment. Trump also told Axios that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked him to meet at the White House, and that the meeting could be held as soon as next week after he returns from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit. The NATO summit will be held in Türkiye from the 7th to the 8th of this month, and Trump is expected to attend. In the interview, Trump emphasized that he and Netanyahu get along well and that Netanyahu “knows who is boss.” The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated that Netanyahu called Trump yesterday to congratulate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence.
