Houthi representatives attending the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran chanted 'Death to Jews,' according to a single report. The incident follows earlier reports of the delegation chanting anti-US and anti-Israel slogans upon arrival.
A single unverified report circulating on Sunday morning indicates that Houthi delegates attending the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran chanted 'Death to Jews.' The chant escalates the rhetoric from earlier footage, reported by The Zioneer at 07:46, which showed the delegation shouting 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' upon arrival. The new detail — 'Death to Jews' — has not been corroborated by additional sources or independent footage. It is unclear whether the chant was a continuation of the earlier slogans or a separate outburst during the funeral proceedings. Houthi leaders have a track record of antisemitic incitement, but this specific phrase has not been confirmed by any other channel or official statement.
