The funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is reportedly taking place in Mashhad, as reported by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentsvaig. The event follows earlier reports of anti-Trump incitement at the funeral site. Prior to this, The Zioneer reported at Thu 12:23 Jerusalem that mourners at Khamenei's burial in Mashhad chanted threats to kill U.S. President Donald Trump, citing security analyst Yair Goldblatt.
