Israeli journalist Asaf Rosenzweig, reporting for N12, documented a scene at the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, where a cleric publicly swore to assassinate US President Donald Trump, calling it a religious duty and 'our shame' if not carried out. The remarks are part of a broader wave of calls for revenge against the US and Israel that have dominated the funeral ceremonies. In recent days, Iranian officials and hardliners have made similar threats, including parliament member Mojtaba Zarei calling for Trump's execution and the hardline Kayhan daily urging an assassination on American soil.
