Mourners chant “Death to America, Death to Israel” during the funeral of Iran’s supreme leader

# Mourners who attended the second day of a public funeral for Iran’s slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the Grand Mosque on Sunday called for revenge. A week of mass funeral processions is being staged across Iran and Iraq for Khamenei, who was killed along with four members of his family on the first day of the US and Israeli war on 28 February. Holding Iranian flags and pictures of their martyred leader, the crowds called for US president Donald Trump’s killing and chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”.
