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.

I love it! They managed to do more damage to themselves falling all over a dead mass murderer than Trump’s Hellfires ever could do.
You can’t make this up.
How will they mourn the dead mourners?
Retarded animals...
A Super Stampede!

Do something or STFU.
The perfect place to drop a stink bomb.
One glow in the dark glass parking lot coming up!
Well maybe more than one, don't want parking space over there to go short.
I wonder if it was open casket?
An impressive death toll for sure. So now you know that Salami man was a high muckety muck in Iran. This ghoul had as many crowds coming out for his send off to Islamic Valhalla as the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Does the Islamic Valhalla accept you if you arrive in a shoe box with your pimp ring inside?
There’s the irony of dying at a funeral. The more risqué the send off, the more gauche it became.
How do you get 72 virgins when you die a meaningless death? If that’s martyrdom, its been steeply discounted for sure.
Was this BEFORE or AFTER the Iranian soldiers opened fire on the mourners?
Like I said, come for us. Will be so much for fun for us to take care of you when you cowards finally emerge from the shadows.
Hell.
I think the only appropriate event are some more memorial stampedes.
They’ve been saying that for forty years. Save the threats and man up!
Let’s see what you’ve got.
Better than a soccer riot!
Trump’s fault.
casketS, corrected.......
