Addressing a large public meeting organized at Mount Rushmore on the occasion of America’s 250th Independence Day, Trump said that ‘America has given Iran a week’s time for the last rites because we are good people.’ This statement of the US President has come at a time when Khamenei is being given his last farewell amidst heavy security in Tehran.

‘If you deviate from the conditions then military action will be taken’

Referring to the recent military conflict, he claimed that Iran is now under complete pressure after the American action. Trump said, "We have beaten Iran very badly. They are now desperate to compromise. They want to compromise very badly. But we are good people, so we have given them a week’s time to perform the last rites of their leader. Hearing this taunt of Trump, the crowd of his supporters present there started laughing loudly and clapping. Along with this, Trump gave a stern warning and said that if Iran refuses its conditions, America will start its military action again.
