Thousands of enraged Iranians burned the US flag and chanted “death to America” and “Israel” Saturday as the Islamic Republic buried the head of its armed forces and other top commanders who were killed during the 12-day war.
The caskets of about 60 corpses, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp’s chief Generals Hossein Salami and Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were marched through the streets of downtown Tehran for the first public funerals since President Trump helped broker a June 23 cease-fire between the two Middle Eastern countries.
“Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” the crowds screamed as flags of both countries were set ablaze.
Salami, the head of the IRGC’s ballistic missile program, and Hajizadeh were both killed on June 13 — the first day of the war — when Israel launched a massive overnight airstrike on Iran.
At least 20 Iranian military commanders and several nuclear scientists working on the country’s weapons program were also taken out in the preemptive strikes.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, did not make an appearance at Saturday’s funerals — and has not been seen in public since before the outbreak of the Israel-Iran conflict.
Khamenei, 86, has been hiding in an underground bunker for weeks, though he made a rare televised appearance to ludicrously claim victory over Israel while delivering a “hand slap to America’s face.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attended the funeral services, as well as Gen. Esmail Qaani, who heads the foreign wing of the IRGC, the Quds Force.

Hit the Hooties too. Decimate them . Smoke the rubble
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has instructed the defense establishment to prepare for a broad campaign against the Houthis:
“The Houthis fire toward Israel almost daily. Some of the missiles don’t reach and disintegrate en route, but this reality cannot continue. The Houthis will pay a heavy price.”
Since we refuse to, allow Israel to finish the job.
They were chanting death to America??? oh my God, this is unheard of for Iranian to do. We need to really be cautious now because this is by no means the standard same old same old boring crap that comes out of these morons every two weeks. They must really mean business now.
Nah, they are still a little pissed off because we just bombed their stuff. They will get over it.
Since Iran provided the critical parts for these bombs, I feel its justified to drone strike every funeral in Iran.
This may sound cold and hard hearted. I do not GAF.
It’s nice to see that Salami has been sliced up.

Ali Khamenei, we will boil you in the same hot springs we use to cook our Bison !!!
“The caskets of about 60 corpses ... were marched through the streets of downtown Tehran”
kind of an industrial looking funeral parade: pictures show those caskets are stacked like cord-wood inside of open-sided 18-wheeler flatbeds fitted with canopies ...
Many here do not understand what one has to do in order to keep living in such a country. Given a descent chance, most will turn.
Where are you getting your stats? I’m seeing about 97% are Muslim.
Thank you for that. They are sitting on a powder keg and keyboard warriors here say “Now is the time to rise up and take over”. Now, is not the time In fact, there may never be a time. We don’t know but we can hope. One thing for sure is there will be no change in leadership without bloodshed.
They have been chanting the same thing since the late 70s. 🙄
2 possibilities for her. She knows she’s lying and promoting Iranian anti-Americanism and anti-semitism. Or she’s ignorant and gullible.
By the way, her new hairstyle mad her look 15 years older and I didn’t recognize her. Goes with her 15-20 pounds gained since April or so, by my estimation. Somebody should get a livestock scale and weigh her.
I thought the skanks and slobs at CNN said our American military had no effect on their Iranian brothers with our B-2 attacks. What the heck are the Muzzies PO’D about?
When someone says they want to kill you, you should listen to them.
And you should act accordingly.

Well, it’s 1979 all over again.
Iranians are more like Gazans who are forced to “like” Hamas or die. Prisoners in their own country. Orchestrated “death to America” rallies. The Mullahs will not let their ideology go. They’ve been fighting the Sunnis for almost 1400 years.
Bunch of bellicose losers. Will be bypassed by rest of humanity.
They’re required to appear at staged protests, much like the N. Koreans. Fail to go and a Karen of a neighbor, or someone with a chip on their shoulder against you, could report you.
Right now the remnants of their government are running about hunting spies, real and imaginary. Dangerous time for anyone to act different and draw attention to themselves.
