Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (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.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Tehran, comprehensive foreign news report on the 27th) Official data released today showed that Iran, which was already suffering from hyperinflation due to international sanctions, was hit by the war in the Middle East. The inflation rate in June this year has soared to 88.6%, reaching a high point. Agence France-Presse reported that data from the Statistical Center of Iran showed that during the Persian month of Khordad (May 22 to June 21), food prices in Iran more than doubled year-on-year. Among them, the prices of bread and cereals increased by 138.8% year-on-year, the prices of dairy products and eggs increased by 151.9%, and the prices of red meat and poultry soared by 178.2%. By comparison, before the United States and Israel launched war against Iran in February this year, Iran’s annual inflation rate was 68%. In December 2025, when demonstrations were launched across Iran due to high prices, which later evolved into political demands, the inflation rate had increased to 52.6% year-on-year. Iran’s official statistics are released on a monthly basis according to the Persian calendar, which begins in March each year. Affected by international sanctions, Iran’s economy has suffered from long-term hyperinflation and a sharp depreciation of its currency, the rial, for many years. This situation has intensified in recent months, eroding people’s purchasing power and triggering nationwide protests in December. The economic crisis has been further worsened by war in the Middle East. (Compiled by: Cai Jiamin) 1150628 Support the Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.
