Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports that at the burial of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, mourners chanted threats to kill U.S. President Donald Trump. The threat echoes earlier rhetoric at the funeral. The claim is unverified beyond Goldblatt's report.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X/Twitter Thursday that at the burial of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, mourners were heard chanting 'We will kill Trump.' The report comes as the funeral process concludes in Khamenei's hometown.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, calls to assassinate President Trump have escalated throughout the funeral events, with speakers at earlier stages in Tehran declaring that killing Trump is a 'duty.' In one instance, a funeral emcee stated, 'We will murder Trump' (July 5). Goldblatt has been closely covering the funeral, including reports of senior Mossad officials attending in Iraq (July 7) and a Hebrew-language sign threatening Shiite revenge (July 5).
The threat at the burial is based on a single source—Goldblatt's post—and has not been independently verified. It remains unclear whether the chant was an isolated outburst or part of a coordinated display.
