TL;DR

Reportedly, regime supporters gathered to bid farewell to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei chanted 'Death to Israel' and 'Death to America.' The report is single-sourced and has not been independently verified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Tonight, mourners at the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei chanted 'Death to Israel' and 'Death to America,' according to a single unverified report. The chants were reported at the funeral venue, coming hours after earlier reports from the day's burial in Mashhad documented threats against U.S. President Donald Trump.

Earlier today, at 12:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that journalist Asaf Rozentsvaig said the funeral was underway in Mashhad. Simultaneously, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported that at the burial, mourners chanted 'We will kill Trump.' The initial incitement report (v1) also noted anti-Trump rhetoric. All of these reports remain single-sourced and have not been independently verified.

The chants align with a pattern of hardline slogans reported during the mourning period for Khamenei. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, footage from an Iranian funeral showed participants chanting 'Death to America, Death to Israel.' Hezbollah supporters and Houthi delegates have also been reported chanting similar slogans at related events. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz commented on the 'Death to Trump' chants, calling them revealing of the regime's true nature.

This latest report, like the earlier ones, remains unverified beyond a single source. No independent corroboration or official Iranian confirmation has been received.
