Chants of 'Death to America' reported at Khamenei farewell ceremony in Tehran

Chants of 'Death to America' were heard during the farewell ceremony for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, according to Iranian Telegram channels. The chants add to the anti-American rhetoric that has marked the funeral proceedings, including earlier 'blood revenge' chants directed at the United States and President Trump.

The Zioneer reported earlier today (Saturday) that mourners at Khamenei's funeral procession chanted 'blood revenge' against the United States and President Trump, with a figure identified as Ganam Ibrahim leading the chants. That report, published at 06:20 Jerusalem, followed earlier accounts of 'Death to America' chants and calls for Trump's assassination at the same funeral.

Now, new reports from Iranian Telegram channels indicate that at the farewell ceremony in Tehran, participants chanted 'Death to America.' The chants add to the anti-American rhetoric that has characterized the funeral events, which began with initial reports of 'Death to Israel, Death to America' chants (published at 06:20 Jerusalem) and progressed to specific threats against the US and Trump.

The Zioneer has previously reported on broader anti-American sentiment in the region: a religious mourner in Qom led similar chants on June 28, Hezbollah supporters held a rally on June 17, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called for 'blood revenge' at the funeral on July 2.

The new reports of 'Death to America' at the farewell ceremony stem from desk-reviewed reports and have not been independently verified. The relationship between the reported chants at the farewell ceremony and the earlier funeral procession events remains unclear.
