Speaking at Mount Rushmore during celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, Trump praised US military power and declared that Iran was seeking a political settlement after months of conflict.
"They're dying to settle; they want to settle so badly," Trump said, while also boasting about US actions against both Venezuela and Iran.
"We beat Venezuela in one day, and we knocked the hell out of Iran," he said.
Trump also claimed Washington had allowed Tehran time to conduct funeral ceremonies for Khamenei.
"We gave them a week off for a funeral because we're nice," he said.
