New footage shows mourners throwing stones at a sign bearing US President Donald Trump's image on a bridge during a funeral in Iran, until the sign was torn. The incident adds to a series of anti-American displays at mourning events, according to Israeli media.
New footage circulating on Israeli media shows mourners at a funeral in Iran throwing stones at a sign bearing US President Donald Trump's image, mounted on a bridge, until the sign was torn down. The incident is the latest in a series of anti-American displays at Iranian mourning events in recent days, as reported by The Zioneer.
As The Zioneer reported on Sat Jul 4, 06:20 Jerusalem, crowds at the funeral chanted 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel', waved red revenge flags — a traditional Shia symbol of vengeance — and called for killing President Trump. The Iranian Intelligence Ministry also vowed revenge for the killing of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to the Persian-language channel Abu Ali Express. On Sun Jul 5, 16:53 Jerusalem, a 'Kill Trump' hashtag was displayed at a Tehran metro station near the funeral site, and additional footage from Sun Jul 5, 23:52 Jerusalem showed mourners chanting 'Death to America, Death to Israel'.
The Zioneer previously reported that the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader drew massive crowds in Tehran, with attendees waving signs calling for revenge and raising traditional red flags. The events have been marked by intense anti-American and anti-Israeli rhetoric, with chants of 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' a recurring theme.
The footage is attributed to Israeli media, specifically N12, and the initial reports of the stone-throwing came from Iranian Telegram channels. It remains unclear whether the sign was completely removed or just damaged, and whether security forces intervened to stop the incident.
