US President Donald Trump has reportedly claimed that the remaining Iranian leadership could be eliminated "with one shot" as funeral ceremonies for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei continue across the country.
Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran for 36 years, was killed on February 28, the day the US and Israel began striking Iran, triggering a wider conflict in the Middle East.
One Shot to Take Them All Out: Trump
"They are all there. One shot and we can take them all out," Trump reportedly said.
Trump added that the United States would not do this because then they would have nobody to negotiate with.
Trump further claimed that Iran was eager to reach an agreement, saying, "They are begging to make a deal."
He also asserted that both sides had agreed to pause negotiations for a week until the funeral ceremonies concluded.
According to Trump, neither side would carry out attacks during this period.
