US President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that "1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran," warning the US military will strike if Iran acts on threats after funeral chants for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The warning comes after Iran struck three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the US carried out multiple airstrikes and Tehran has launched retaliatory attacks; US officials demand Tehran publicly confirm the strait will remain open to international shipping. Senior US officials say hard-line factions in
Iran are trying to undermine a ceasefire while
Mojtaba Khamenei consolidates power, increasing the risk of wider conflict and renewed disruption to
oil markets.
