Trump Issues 'Final' Nuclear Deadline to Iran Amid Funeral Diplomacy and Tanker Attack

President Donald Trump has escalated pressure on the Iranian government, issuing a "final" 5-to-7-day ultimatum to Reach a nuclear agreement. Speaking as Tehran enters a period of mourning for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Trump stated the United States would either finalize a deal or move to "finish the job" through military action. This ultimatum arrives during a strategic diplomatic pause in direct negotiations as regional leaders gather in Qom for Khamenei’s burial, scheduled for July 9. Internal stability in Iran remains a point of international concern as Moja Kenei, the son and designated successor of the late Ayatollah, has failed to make any public appearances since his father was killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli operation on February 28. Despite this leadership vacuum, Iranian officials used the funeral proceedings to reaffirm their commitment to regional proxies. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf met with Hamas leaders to signal continued support for the group's activities. The fragile cease-fire was further tested today by a maritime incident east of Oman’s Limah. A commercial tanker was reportedly struck by an unidentified projectile, resulting in a fire. While no injuries were reported, the strike follows a series of Iranian missile launches targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. In the diplomatic sphere, Iran's Foreign Minister warned Germany that it would face consequences for its rhetoric regarding the Strait, opening a new front of economic tension with European powers.
