At the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, mourners chanted for 'blood revenge' (nakam dam) against Israel and the United States while facing the coffin, according to reports from the scene. The chants follow earlier reports from The Zioneer at 08:18 Jerusalem that mourners shouted 'Death to America' and called for the assassination of President Trump. The blood revenge slogan has been a recurring theme during the funeral, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf previously urging the public to 'sound the cry for blood revenge to the world.' The funeral proceedings continue with large crowds and persistent anti-Western rhetoric.
