According to a report, incitement against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to escalate as the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei proceeds. The report follows earlier incidents of hostile rhetoric and displays at the funeral, including calls to assassinate Trump and the stoning of his portrait.
A new report indicates that incitement against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to escalate as the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei enters its final stages. The report, from a single source, suggests that the hostile rhetoric is intensifying amid the ongoing funeral proceedings.
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that mourners at the funeral stoned a portrait of Trump while chanting 'America is the Great Satan.' That incident followed earlier calls by funeral speakers to assassinate Trump, legal proceedings announced against Israel and the US, and a threat by the funeral emcee to murder Trump. The Zioneer has also covered the broader context of hardline rhetoric in Tehran, including a vow of revenge by Iran's Intelligence Ministry and calls for retaliation on American soil.
The current report does not cite specific new incidents but frames the overall atmosphere as one of escalating incitement. The source of the report is a single unverified channel, and the claims have not been independently corroborated. The funeral continues, and further developments are expected.
