Stampede kills 40 mourners at funeral of Qassem Soleimani and leaves more than 200 injured after huge crowds gathered in his home town ahead of his burial Revolutionary guards chief Hossein Salami told the crowds that Iran would 'set ablaze' places linked to the US Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for a direct retaliation rather than relying on Iranian proxies US officials said they are anticipating a 'major' attack of some type within the next day or two
Forty mourners have been killed and more than 200 injured after a stampede broke out on the final day of Qassem Soleimani's funeral in Iran today.
Iran's farewell to the general descended into chaos after thousands of people thronged to his home town of Kerman, where he was due to be buried later.
With a sea of mourners rushing to see Soleimani's coffin, state media said a stampede had broken out which left 40 people dead and 213 injured.
Footage which circulated online appeared to show emergency workers desperately trying to rescue mourners who had been thrown to the ground and badly hurt during the crush.
Soleimani's burial was later postponed, further prolonging a funeral which was already in its third day amid a huge outpouring of public grief.
Iran today renewed its vows of revenge against America which regarded the general as a terrorist leader and killed him in a drone strike in Iraq last Friday.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who yesterday wept in public over Soleimani's casket, has ordered his country's forces to retaliate directly against US interests rather than relying on its proxies in the region.
Tehran says it has lined up 13 'revenge scenarios' and revolutionary guards leader Hossein Salami told the crowds today that Iran would 'set ablaze' US allies.

Does Islam know foolish they look?
Pelosi and Schumer will blame this on Trump. He planned to kill all these GO FOs like this and will include this in another article of impeachment.
Clean-up on aisle 3.
Tehran says it has lined up 13 ‘revenge scenarios’ and revolutionary guards leader Hossein Salami told the crowds today that Iran would ‘set ablaze’ US allies.
Number 1 is to get Pelosi/Schiff/Nadler/Schumer to come up with another impeachment charge.
More people were killed at this official state funeral than in the American airstrikes (and the death toll will only go up)
In other words, the Iranian Government is more of a threat to its own people than the US is
Hope Pelosi was OK.
Like Tienanmen Square in China. Initial reports said hundreds of dead iirc. A later report by British intelligence said over 10,000 dead. Shot. Crushed by tanks into a mulch. Remains washed down the sewers.
I just love a happy ending.
The Iranians are crazy but not stupid. They know that if they do one more attack anywhere they’ll get stomped.
Give them a platform and they turn on a dime. That's the way Islam is...back to kill all the Christians and Jews....World Domination!!
Highly predictable events:
1. Drive-by shooting at a gang member’s funeral
2. Stampede and people trampled to death at Islamonut’s funeral
3. Stampede and people trampled to death during the haj in Mecca
Yeah, if a mourner dies in a stampede at a funeral for a “martyr”, does that grant the stampeded mourner martyrdom status too ? A question for the Imam .
Aw gee. What a shame
We kill one terrorist and they go nuts, as usual. They kill 40 of their fellow terrorists and ...crickets. What a screw-up bunch of nitwits.
1400yrs of true Islam on display... what a spectacle!!
They must of had the Paul Wellstone memorial/pep rally in mind. Clichés and arrogance, staged to wrap the true believers up in hate for their enemies.
Boos for the villainous infidels! Rally to the fight!
Seems wherever Islam dominates DEATH follows.
Even their funerals are violent.
Last time there was a stampede deathfest funeral like this in Teheran was the one for Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989.
The thirty year old footage is still worth watching and proves that Mohammedans, beneath a thin veneer of civilization, are nothing more than foaming bloody savages.
