U.S. ambassador Mike Huckabee criticized Iran, highlighting a banner at Khamenei\u2019s funeral in Mashhad that read \u201cWe Will Kill Trump,\u201d indicative of Iran\u2019s aggressive stance. huckabee emphasized that Iran\u2019s long-standing hostile rhetoric, including chants like \u201cDeath to America,\u201d remains unchanged over decades. He dismissed claims that rogue elements caused recent attacks on ships, asserting there\u2019s little evidence of moderation within Iran\u2019s government. Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei pledged revenge for his father\u2019s death, stating it is the nation\u2019s will adn imminent. The U.S. remains insistent on iran publicly renouncing control over the Strait of Hormuz and ceasing hostile actions, with demands including the acknowledgment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/misleading-list-claiming-to-show-project-2025-policy-positions\/\" title=\"Misleading list claiming to show Project 2025 policy positions\">open shipping lanes<\/a> and no toll charges. The U.S. refuses to negotiate over Iran\u2019s underground enriched uranium stockpiles. The overall tone indicates ongoing hostility and limited progress toward de-escalation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The mask Iran wears when it pretends to want a diplomatic solution to the war with the United States slipped as the nation buried former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/liveblog_entry\/we-will-kill-trump-banners-seen-at-khamenei-funeral-iranian-president-fm-attacked-as-not-hardline-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Times of Israel<\/a> reported that in Mashhad, Iran, where Khamenei was buried, a large banner was seen reading, \u201cWe Will Kill Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huckabee said that\u2019s the real Iran talking, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/iran-war-news-us-trump-oil-prices-strait-of-hormuz-07-11-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important for Americans to understand that what the Iranians are saying and doing is nothing that they haven\u2019t been doing for 47 years,\u201d Huckabee said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a long-standing \u2018Death to America\u2019 chant that they\u2019ve had.
