01 · THE DISPATCH

Additional video footage from an Iranian funeral on Sunday shows participants chanting 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel,' according to Iranian Telegram channels. The clip, which surfaced on Sunday evening, appears to have been recorded earlier in the day at a mourning event.

The footage comes amid a series of reports of hardline anti-US and anti-Israel rhetoric at Iranian funerals and ceremonies in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, similar chants were documented at a funeral in Qom on June 28 and at a Tehran metro station, and were a prominent feature of the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late June and early July. The Khamenei funeral drew hundreds of thousands and featured calls for the assassination of U.S. President Trump, alongside chants of 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel.'

The videos, distributed via Telegram, have not been independently verified, but they align with the pattern of public expressions of hostility toward Israel and the United States at regime-aligned gatherings. No official figures or specific location for this Sunday's funeral were provided in the initial reports.
