00:00.
00:26A chilling statement from Iran's parliament is now sending shockwaves across global capitals,
00:32a senior Iranian lawmaker publicly declaring that within a month, funeral prayers would
00:38be recited for Donald Trump, the United States and its allies.
00:43So what was really meant, and how dangerous is this moment?
00:47The remark came on February 3rd, 2026, spoken during a live session of Iran's parliament,
00:53the Majlis, by the deputy speaker.
00:56It was quickly amplified by Iranian state media and spread rapidly across social platforms.
01:02The full quote reads,
01:04In about a month, we will recite the funeral prayer for Donald Trump, the United States
01:09and their allies.
01:12Strong words, highly symbolic and deeply provocative.
01:17This statement did not come out of nowhere.
01:19It landed at a moment when U.S. naval forces are deploying toward the region, Washington
01:24is openly warning of possible strikes, and Iran is facing intense international criticism
01:31for cracking down on internal protests.
01:34Analysts say this was rhetorical escalation, designed to rally domestic support, signal
01:39defiance, and deter U.S. military action.
01:43Not necessarily a literal plan, but a message.
01:47And importantly, this is not the first time Iranian officials have used language like this.
01:53In just the past year alone, Iranian lawmakers compared Trump to Pharaoh, casting Supreme
01:58Leader Khamenei as Moses.
02:02State television aired religiously framed threats, suggesting divine punishment against Trump.
02:08Parliament sessions echoed chants of death to America.
02:12U.S. intelligence has also warned of credible Iranian threats linked to revenge for the 2020
02:18tilling of General Qasem Soleimani.
02:21So, while often framed as propaganda, the consequences are very real.
02:27Which raises the big question.
02:29With rhetoric this heated, are Iran-U.S. talks doomed?
02:34Surprisingly, not yet.
02:37Despite the threats, diplomacy is quietly moving forward.
02:41Iran has conditionally agreed to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, the first
02:47direct engagement since U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last summer.
02:53President Masoud Pazeshkian has ordered his foreign minister to pursue talks, but without
02:58threats and without humiliation.
03:01A high-stakes meeting is now scheduled in Istanbul, with nuclear limits, missile programs and sanctions
03:07relief all on the table.
03:10The contrast could not be sharper.
03:12On one side, fiery threats and symbolic funerals.
03:16On the other, fragile diplomacy trying to prevent war.
03:20The coming weeks will decide which voice wins and whether this moment becomes another step
03:25toward de-escalation or the beginning of something far more dangerous.
