Iran war

The U.S. military launched new attacks on Iran Tuesday in retaliation for Iranian attacks against commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S.

President Donald Trump will attend the NATO summit this week in Turkey, where his anger with European allies over the Iran war could upend the U.S.-led alliance.

TEHRAN, Iran — They turned out in force to pay their respects and show defiance.

Mournful wailing, religious songs, and chants calling for revenge against the U.S. and Israel rang out on Sunday as huge crowds gathered in Tehran for the second day of ceremonies celebrating the country’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

TEHRAN — Despite the withering heat, tens of thousands of mourners streamed into Tehran’s sprawling Grand Mosalla mosque and prayer complex on Saturday for the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, openly grieving while also voicing anger toward the U.S.

Massive crowds showed up for the official start of the funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Iran’s capital, on Saturday, the beginning of a multi-day ceremony that is meant to project the strength and resilience of the Islamic Republic after a bruising war with the United States and Israel.

U.S. officials were concerned that Israel might try to assassinate Iran’s negotiators during recent ceasefire talks and Tehran was warned about the possible threat, according to a U.S. official and an Iranian official with knowledge of the matter.

Four months after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, Iran is preparing for a massive multi-day funeral. It’s a calculated move by the regime to project strength and unity during a shaky peace deal with the U.S.

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., on Sunday said that the war between the U.S. and Iran has moved into a stage he called, “a mop-up operation,” hours after the U.S. launched fresh strikes on Iran.“The major war is over, and think of this as almost just a mop up operation,” Marshall told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could be forced to return to war as a series of escalating reciprocal strikes with Iran continued into Sunday, threatening to unravel peace efforts between the two countries
