US President Donald Trump has indicated he would be 'honoured' to meet Iran's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, following a military operation that resulted in the death of his family members. The operation, known as Operation Epic Fury, occurred on February 28 and led to the death of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while his son was seriously injured. In a press conference on May 4, Trump mentioned that while he does not actively seek a meeting, he would consider it if a deal could be made. The situation remains tense as Iran has retaliated against US and Israeli interests in the Middle East, including attacks on military sites and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the ongoing hostilities, both nations have managed to maintain a fragile ceasefire for several weeks, although a long-term peace agreement remains elusive. The risk of further escalation persists as both countries have engaged in military exchanges recently.
