A handwritten sign reading "We will kill Trump" is circulating widely at the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump, who earlier told Axios he was watching the funeral, is now publicly commenting on the sign, amplifying its viral spread, according to the Zioneer's channels.
This evening, as the funeral procession for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei continues in Tehran, President Donald Trump publicly responded to a mourner's handwritten sign reading "We will kill Trump" that has circulated widely across Persian-language channels and Israeli sources. Trump, who told Axios earlier today at 20:57 Jerusalem that he was watching the funeral, has now engaged with the image — elevating the incident from a piece of funeral imagery to a bilateral political flashpoint, according to the draft's sources.
As The Zioneer first reported at 12:46 Jerusalem on Tuesday, mourners at the funeral had already been chanting for Trump's assassination and the destruction of Israel. A sign explicitly threatening to kill Trump was reported by a Persian-language channel at 21:09 Jerusalem the same evening. The thread has now evolved from initial single-channel reports to multiple Israeli and Persian sources corroborating the sign's circulation, and now includes Trump's own public commentary.
The threat follows days of ceremonies during which attendees have repeatedly called for the assassination of Trump and the destruction of Israel, as The Zioneer has covered. Trump told Axios that the U.S. could "eliminate everyone" but that doing so would leave no negotiating partner. The Zioneer also reported on Friday that Khamenei's confidant Mehdi Rasouli threatened the destruction of "Pharaonic world management" — a reference to the United States — as revenge for the assassination.
The specific source of the video showing the sign and its authenticity have not been independently verified. No intelligence or security response has been reported from either the U.S. or Israeli governments at this hour.
