Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral on Thursday attracted large crowds of mourners wishing death upon President Donald Trump, after he launched the war that killed the Islamist figure in February.
Funeral events reached their culmination this week, as mourners reached the country’s holiest shrine for Khamenei’s burial at the Shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad. Footage of the proceedings showed massive crowds in funeral processions carrying giant scarlet banners reading “Kill Trump,” “Hey Trump, we will kill you,” and “There will be blood” on banners depicting Trump’s image. “We will kill Trump” banners also appeared on buildings in Mashhad, according to footage on social media.
