During the eulogies at the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, speakers issued sharp calls for vengeance, including a threat against U.S. President Donald Trump: 'I swear by your blood — killing Trump is our responsibility,' according to journalist Amit Segal (N12).
The funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei continued to serve as a platform for hardline threats against the United States and Israel on Sunday morning. Reports from journalist Amit Segal (N12) indicate that during the eulogies, speakers explicitly called for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump, with one declaring: 'I swear by your blood — killing Trump is our responsibility.' Another speaker reportedly asked: 'Why shouldn't we kill the murderer of the Imam?'
These latest threats come after days of escalating rhetoric at the funeral. As The Zioneer reported, earlier stages of the event featured calls to 'assassinate Trump' as a 'duty' (Wednesday), Iran's Intelligence Ministry vowing revenge (Thursday), and an IRGC commander threatening to 'wipe out the Zionists' (Friday). The threats have been consistently attributed to speakers at the multi-day funeral, though with varying degrees of specificity. Sunday's reports add a direct, personalized threat against Trump framed as a blood oath.
While the threats are on-record and attributed to named speakers by credible Israeli media, it remains unclear whether they represent official IRGC or state policy or the independent rhetoric of individual clerics and hardliners. The U.S. response, if any, has not been reported.
