According to Iranian media reports, poet Mohammad Rasouli recited a sharp protest poem at the mass funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, explicitly calling for the murder of US President Donald Trump and accusing him of direct responsibility for Khamenei's death. The poem, published in Iranian media, reflects the militant atmosphere at the official mourning ceremonies.
The inflammatory rhetoric at the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei escalated further Sunday morning, as Iranian poet Mohammad Rasouli reportedly recited a protest poem calling for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and accusing him of direct responsibility for Khamenei's death. The poem, published in Iranian media, was met with widespread resonance in Iran, according to reports.
Calls for Trump's assassination have been a recurring theme at the funeral. Earlier Sunday, the funeral emcee threatened to murder Trump, stating 'his elimination is ours' (The Zioneer, 09:15). At 07:04, another speaker declared that if they do not kill the 'murderer,' 'shrouds will be our clothing' (The Zioneer, 07:04).
The poet's remarks represent the latest in a series of hostile statements from the funeral, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of mourners. The Zioneer previously reported on calls for the assassination of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the event.
