A religious mourner, Ali Akbar Ha'ari, led anti-US and anti-Israel chants at a ceremony in Qom on Sunday morning, as participants brandished Kalashnikov rifles, according to Iranian Telegram channels. Ha'ari also derided US President Donald Trump as a 'drunk gambler who does not know what he is talking about.' The chants — 'Death to America, Death to Israel' — were echoed by the armed crowd. The event comes amid ongoing anti-American and anti-Israeli rhetoric from regime-aligned figures in Iran. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday (00:24 Jerusalem), Ha'ari led similar chants at an earlier ceremony in Qom. The source material consists of a single Iranian the source; the details, including the exact time and location of the ceremony, have not been independently verified.
