Iranian Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani’s burial is taking place in his home town of Kerman on Tuesday, January 7.

Soleimani and the deputy leader of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Mohammed Ali Ebrahimi, also known as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and other militia leaders were killed in a US airstrike at Baghdad's international airport in the early hours of Friday morning.

The Pentagon released a statement confirming that the US had carried out the airstrike at the order of US President Donald Trump, calling it a "decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad." Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "severe revenge awaits the criminals" behind the attack.

For your entertainment and entertaining comments.

Yesterday was the funeral procession, today is his burial.

Just like yesterday, I prefer not to speak ill of the dead... since I lack the skill to do it properly. 😈

No burial at sea?

[Viking2002]

Send in another drone and finish tenderizing the stewing meat on a live satellite feed.........BWAH-HAHAHAHAHA! 😈😈😈😈😈

Here is a picture of some of the crowd, who came to pay their respects.

No, no burial at sea. It is a closed casket funeral in his home town, the closed casket for obvious reasons.

The state of his corpse, its smell, the smell of burning car and residual PBXN-9 explosive, would not make for good TV.

Well whatever you do, don’t tell them the missile’s explosive is formulated with pig fat. They might dig him up and dump him in the dump.

[Salamander]

Did they try to reassemble him or just toss in the parts randomly?

Packed inside the warhead

Yesterday Ruplty allowed comments on the stream's chat, most were not complimentary. Today they have the chat turned off. I don't think they are going to allow comments on this video either...

Wait. What? Kerman? That’s only about 15 miles west of Fresno, CA.

[rktman]

So was there a charter flight straight from the golden globes?😵😭🌎✈🌍💩🚽

[rktman]

Or a dozen ziplocks.😲

I prefer not to speak ill of the dead.

A wise policy: de mortuis nil nisi bonum, of the dead speak only good.

He's dead.

Good.

How did they get the pieces back??

[Widget Jr]

Shipped via coach on a airline. I don’t know if the return was paid by the Iranian or U.S. government. There’s video of his box in a row of seats online.

[clearcarbon]

Was it a big funeral? He had a lot of enemies who would have loved to get a piece of him.

[Widget Jr]

Oh great! I screwed up the link again.
