A clip from Iranian state media went viral showing a hardline cleric telling a presenter that the United States 'cannot do a single thing' in reality. The presenter responded that the U.S. had already assassinated the leader of the revolution.

Hours later, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he would attack Iran again that night. Trump replied that while such plans shouldn't be disclosed, since 'there is not a thing they can do about it,' the answer was probably yes. He stated that Iran was attacked the previous night and would face a 'very hard' attack that night as well.
