Khamenei was killed along with other members of his family on February 28, the first day of the US and Israeli war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who made the direct call for the killing of Trump?<\/strong> During part of the ceremony, the poet Mohammad Rasouli said: \u201cI swear by your blood; Trump\u2019s murder is our responsibility. Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive? \u2026 Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is the new supreme leader?<\/strong> Appointed 10 days after his father\u2019s death, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public or recorded any audio message for three months. His absence was made more conspicuous when his brothers, Mustafa, Massoud and Meysam, stood alongside one another beside their father\u2019s coffin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did Gim\u00e9nez say?<\/strong> He said: \u201c[TPS] is meant to safeguard those who are either fleeing countries that are failed states and are at risk of going back to them or countries that really can\u2019t handle them right now, as is the case with Venezuela that has suffered a natural disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did the court decide?<\/strong> The ruling gave the green light to plans to end TPS for more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. TPS allows people to live and work in the US if the Department of Homeland Security deems their home countries unsafe due to war or natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jul\/06\/first-thing-iran-supreme-leader-ali-khamenei-funeral-trump\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions gather in streets and officials appear in public at Tehran funeral of Ali Khamenei in show of defiance.
