Huge crowds gather in Tehran for funeral of slain Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei as millions call for 'revenge' against the US

Huge crowds have gathered in Tehran for the funeral of Iran's late supreme leader Ali Khamenei, with millions calling for 'revenge' against the US.

Khamenei ruled the Islamic republic from 1989 until he was killed aged 86 in an airstrike on the first day of the US-Israeli war with Iran on February 28.

Today's service at Tehran's Grand Mosalla complex was led by prominent Shia cleric Ja'far Sobhani, a 97-year-old scholar.

It came one day after mourners flooded the streets of Tehran chanting 'death to America!' over Khamenei's killing.

As authorities unveiled the casket containing his body in a glass case, crowds wept and chanted 'our word is one! Revenge! Revenge!'

A performer at today's service called for the death of Donald Trump, marking the first, direct call for the US president's death by an emcee at the funeral.

Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, drew calls of 'Death to America!' and 'Death to Israel', adding, 'Why is the most b****** man in the world still alive?' in reference to Trump.

Khamenei's son and successor Mojtaba Khamenei, who is said to have been wounded in the February 28 attack, has not appeared in public since being named supreme leader and was absent from the funeral prayers.

Khamenei's other three sons, Masoud, Mostafa and Meysam, were in attendance.

Khamenei's body will today be moved from the Grand Mosalla complex where it is lying in state in preparation for processions through the capital on Monday.

The vast religious complex and surrounding streets were packed with mourners this morning.

With temperatures set to exceed 35C, supporters carrying Iranian flags and portraits of Khamenei as they made their way to the Grand Mosalla were handed refreshments.

President Masoud Pezeshkian attended the ceremony alongside senior officials including parliament speaker and Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Hope they can keep this one in the box. Last time it got a bit it of control.

Do they dump him in the well? Or is that only for climbing out of?

Looks like great target practice. Any mass shows of support for the regime should be fair game.

Notice there are no other world leaders - or for that matter even Iran’s neighbors - attending that wicked demons funeral. That ought to send a message around the world.

Talk about sympathy for the devil. That’s a big crowd of people who are inspired by evil beliefs and enthusiastic for evil acts.

“””REVENGE!!!! DEATH TO AMERICA!!!!”””

Don’t they do that at every get together, from opening a community swimming pool to a weekend mattress sale?

That group is made up of the 15% muslim extremists that overthrew Iran. They’re terrorists in their own nation. They destroyed Iran for their own twisted perverted agenda.

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss. And the ones causing the loss are the IRGC.

I’m posting this in every thread where the absence of such MONETARY DAMAGES ASSESSMENT is partially responsible for the situation.

Were there any objective observers there who can verify that this actually happened?

Did any international journalists interview these people to get an idea of what the public sentiment is?

Do we know if these photos are even real?

No, no and no.

Better, several fuel-air dispersant bombs misting tons of
PIG fat emulsified in water as steam. Dispersed over this crown of 7th Century troglodytes.

Let them know what it is— and the entire crowd is thus-— unclean and their hadith says they must suicide to appease Allah and make it to “heaven”.

The General Pershing weapon. Preferably followed by 30 or 40 C-130s pushing out frangible crates filled with pig skins, and trimmings from major rendering plants in the nearest countries which have them!!

Use a special “dam-buster” directed pig fat weapon on the huge mural of this psychopath— colored with red dye— and mixed with drying agents/solvents which will solidify on contact.

“Allah Fat-WAAAAAAAH!!”

Either that or the whole thing is fake.

This arse ho is dead because you trucks decided to kill our people for 47 years. We finally have a President who decided to hand you the “find out” portion of the bill that was long overdue.
