If you thought the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and leadership put an end to Iranian aggression, you need to see what’s unfolding at Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral. This changes what you think you know about these fragile peace talks and whether the real threat has passed. After the recent 109-day war, Iran is staging a massive days-long state funeral for the late supreme leader whose nuclear quest helped spark the conflict. Hundreds of thousands are filling the streets of Tehran, waving flags and openly chanting “Death to America” and “Revenge! Revenge!” while officials and mourners vow retribution against the United States and Israel. The regime is turning the event into a propaganda spectacle to rally its base and keep the revolutionary hatred alive, even with Khamenei gone. This matters to regular Americans because it proves the ideology driving Iran’s terror proxies and threats to the Strait of Hormuz didn’t die with one man. President Trump pointed out the irony of pausing talks for the mourning period right around America’s July 4th, but the images from Tehran show exactly why common sense says we can’t afford to drop our guard. The Iranians are not signaling genuine peace — they’re regrouping.Pat also covered: Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce tie the knot at MSG. Joey Chestnut dominates and WINS again.
