According to reports, the slogan 'revenge' is being used in Iranian preparations for the massive funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iranian authorities are framing the upcoming funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei around the slogan 'revenge', according to reports. The message, circulated in Iranian media, signals the regime's intent to use the funeral as a platform for calls for retaliation against Israel and the United States, following Khamenei's elimination four months ago.
The Zioneer has reported extensively on the funeral preparations, which have been underway for weeks. Earlier reports indicated that millions of mourners, including from neighboring countries, are expected to attend. The funeral itinerary includes a multi-city procession culminating in burial in Mashhad. The revenge slogan aligns with statements by senior Iranian officials, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who urged 'blood revenge' in a speech earlier this week.
The slogan underscores the Islamic Republic's effort to turn the funeral into a mass mobilization event, both domestically and regionally, as the regime faces internal and external pressures.
