US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran following the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where some mourners were seen displaying banners calling for the deaths of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that the United States had “1,000 missiles locked and loaded” against Iran and warned of severe military action if Tehran or its allies attempted to target him. The statement comes as tensions remain high despite an interim ceasefire, with Washington demanding that Iran publicly guarantee the safety of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest escalation follows attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy route through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil and natural gas passes. While the United States has accused Iran of threatening international navigation and urged ships to use routes through Omani waters, Tehran insists the strait should remain under its control and has proposed charging transit fees. Iranian officials also maintain that the country’s leadership remains united under new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, rejecting claims of internal divisions after the recent conflict.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continue as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to hold talks with Omani officials on the future of the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional security. The United States has reiterated that any future nuclear agreement will require Iran to hand over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, a condition Tehran has repeatedly rejected. With both sides exchanging sharp warnings and maintaining opposing positions, concerns remain that the fragile ceasefire could collapse if negotiations fail or hostilities resume.
