Millions of pro-regime Iranians are flooding the nation's capital city of Tehran for the days-long funeral for slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei this week.
Khamenei's coffin was paraded through the streets of the capital as pro-regime observers chanted "death to America" and called for the assassination of President Donald Trump.
The six-day funeral kicked off on Friday and will conclude later this week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the diplomatic standstill between the U.S. and Iran has left the Middle East region in a highly fragile ceasefire on Monday.
Netanyahu urged the U.S. to be stiff in its negotiations with the Tehran regime, asserting that a paused peace deal must not give the hostile regime room to advance its nuclear ambitions.
President Donald Trump revived threats to strike Iran's power plants and bridges if Tehran doesn't bend on a peace agreement.
Trump made the statement on Monday while speaking to the press at the Oval Office, vowing that the U.S. will win "one way or the other."
"We're going to make a deal or we're going to finish the job, okay. And it won't be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal, because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply. All of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, modern plants," Trump said.
"They had a lot of money. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money, but we can knock out their electricity and power generating plants. And I would say a small part of an afternoon, every plant will be gone. And they know that. They know that," he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to chants of "death to America" and calls for President Donald Trump's assassination at Iran’s funeral for slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday.
Netanyahu accused the Iranian regime of killing some 40,000 of its own citizens during anti-regime protests in the months leading up to the war on Iran.
Senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane, retired, joined Fox News to discuss Iran's strategy in tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
Keane also highlighted Iran's continued nuclear ambitions, saying the U.S. may need to use military force to ensure Tehran complies with any terms under a peace agreement.

Grant noted how Spain and other NATO allies refused to allow U.S. forces to use American bases in their countries for operations relating to the Iran war.
While most nations eventually complied, President Donald Trump has added the incident to a list of complaints about NATO, including that European members do not contribute enough to their own defense.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he hopes to speak with President Donald Trump about pushing peace deals in the Middle East while Iran is "weakened."
Netanyahu made the statement during an appearance on Fox News on Monday, noting that he is planning to visit the U.S. and Trump in the near future. He also bashed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, noting that Trump is scheduled to visit that country in the coming weeks.
"Turkey is a great country, but it is lead by a man who calls openly for the annihilation of Israel. He occupies half of Cyprus, a NATO country. He's threatening Greece another NATO country, and he talks openly about conquering Jerusalem," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu went on to say that he does not believe Turkey should receive support from the U.S. under its current leadership.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied a rift with President Donald Trump while drawing a hard line on Iran as Washington pursues a broader nuclear agreement with Tehran.
Netanyahu said Israel and the U.S. shared the same goal on Iran, even as Trump pressed ahead with talks that have drawn criticism from some Israeli officials.
"But I can tell you this, deal or no deal, as long as I’m prime minister, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," Netanyahu told host Jacqui Heinrich on "The Sunday Briefing."
Asked whether his relationship with Trump had frayed over Iran, Netanyahu said any disagreements between the allies were being handled directly.
"I don’t think there’s a rift," Netanyahu said. "I think America has no greater ally than Israel, and Israel has no greater ally than the United States."
Netanyahu said Trump acts in U.S. interests while he acts in Israel's interests, but argued the two leaders usually align.
"President Trump is the leader of the United States. He does what’s good for America. I am the leader of Israel, the one and only Jewish state. I do what’s good for Israel," Netanyahu said. "Ninety-nine percent of the time we see eye-to-eye."

{{#rendered}}Officials are reportedly eyeing Islamabad, Pakistan, as the venue for the next round of peace talks between Washington and Tehran.
The technical negotiations are expected to begin July 11 after being delayed by Iran's multiday funeral ceremonies for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Diplomatic sources told the Pakistani newspaper Dawn that Islamabad, which helped broker the recently signed memorandum of understanding, has emerged as the leading candidate to host the next round of negotiations.
“There are two possible venues for the technical talks — Islamabad and the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland,” one source said. “Islamabad, however, is the more likely option.”
Officials are expected to build on the technical framework outlined in the memorandum of understanding, which was signed two weeks ago and established a 60-day ceasefire.
The negotiations are expected to focus on Iran's nuclear program, frozen Iranian assets, the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire in Lebanon, Dawn reported.
