The conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has intensified following recent military operations by the opposing sides. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, pledges to avenge the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was buried in the holy city of Mashhad. During the funeral, Iranian state media reports his message of revenge for his father's death and others. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump warns Iran against any assassination attempts after funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei feature English-language banners calling for the deaths of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
