Trump: One attack at Khamenei's funeral could wipe out all of Iran's top leadership, but he won't do that, because then there would be no one to negotiate with.

According to reference news, citing Al Jazeera, US President Donald Trump said in an interview on July 4 that the scenes of Iranian people mourning the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei "shocked" him, saying, "I thought Iranians didn't like him."
