Iranian crowds chant ‘Death to America, Israel’ during funeral for top commanders, scientists killed in Israeli strikes

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.

Classic case of butthurt. I hear Salami was exposed. Really bad optics. Perfect time for a 'No Ayatollahs' protest, eh?

Hey according to Erin Burnett, saying “Death To America” is their way of saying “Hey hows it going”

It may be like having the Democrats protest Trump here in USA. They do not represent the "silent majority".

This may be the case in Iran.

Of course they did.

They have been at war with us since 1978.

Apparently some people in the US are just now noticing.

That just sounds so wrong.

Now is not the time for protests. They’ve rounded up over 700 Iranians they suspect as Mossad agents. 8 will probably be executed because they have confessed (under torture). If you are a secret Mossad agent, you need to be at the protests and scream “Death to America” out loud and mutter something bad about the ayatollah under your breath.

Sorry, folks. But we are going to have to deal with this regime once and for all.

Sooner rather than later.

This reminds me of the scene is the movie 1984 where the bureaucrats are assembled to chant. What was the chance that anyone would appear who would not display the proper level of enthusiasm.

Iran has 90 million people. Only 30% are Muslim. Only 5% support the regime.

When all the people sing death to the Mullahs, it will be finished.

Everyone loves burning the flag, yet given the opportunity they would all come here.

In other news, the sun rose in the east and set in the west. “Death to America” chants are the most predictable thing about the jihadist regimes just about everywhere, and especially the Islamic Republic of Iran.
