Calls for killing of Trump at funeral of Iran supreme leader Ali Khamenei

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/05/iran-ali-khamenei-funeral-supreme-leader-mojtaba-absent

Beside the coffin of the assassinated former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei at a packed prayer hall in Tehran on Sunday there were calls for the killing of Donald Trump.

The funeral prayers for the former supreme leader and four other family members created a political spectacle at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla that melded grief with calls for revenge.

“From now on the shroud is our garment. I swear by your blood; Trump’s murder is our responsibility,” Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, said at a poetry recitation immediately before the prayer reading at the farewell ceremony. He asked: “Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive? The world is no longer a good place for Trump. Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.”

America: Bombs a school

Americans: Why would they be saying Death to America?

Pretty much.

I'd imagine most Americans would have my same reaction.

Please do. Would make the world a better place.

This is actually Iran taking the high road. They aren't threatening women, children, or even American soldiers. Only America's talking asshole.

USA outclassed again by a backwards theocratic autocracy.

Yeah, they're actually threatening a man and not a child or woman for once. Total high road.

Identikit@leminal.space · 14 pts · 49d (1 reply)

Same man who said he’d murder the entire population on social media.

Can’t play high road when the other person’s road is underground.

His road is so low Satan wants him arrested for trespassing

No objections here. But prolly best to make it look like an accident or natural causes.

So? There's call for killing Trump right here in canada.

They should host the correspondant dinner in a school maybe then shit'd get done.

I think we should return to an era of leader on leader violence that leaves the rest of us out of it

Since when has that ever been a thing?

Seems fair.

I mean, that's presumably why heads of state don't go about assassinating other heads of state in the first place. Once you open that can of worms, what do you expect.

Even Chess rules tell you to not do that... And it is quite telling that that rule was indeed added by the Persians... Heed the fucking ancient wisdom you philistine fucks.

People like Donald John Trump make me hope Hell is real.

There's no type of infinite existence that wouldn't become hell.

Yeah the Good Place was a pretty good show I know, but let me have my moment. I’m enjoying the image in my head.

I haven't heard anyone arguing against it...

Put up or shut up, cowards! You ain't gonna the guts to do something this big. You won't even try.

If they pulled it off it'd be a real weird vibe. On one hand there will be parades, parties and celebration. On the other hand the Republicans are still in power so Lord knows what they'd do with President eye liner in response.

They do poetry differently in Iran.

Not while he's in office. I don't want him to be idolized by his followers. Wait until the impeachment and removal from office has happened next year.

For the Americans, here. Go register to Vote & get your neighbor to register too.

JoMiran@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 50d (2 replies)

Even if Dems somehow take the house and flip a few senator votes, they still don't have the numbers for impeachment and removal.

Republicans:

I have zero faith in those bastards. In fact, I have faith that they will always do the wrong thing.

Can we get a few poets in the US come up with straight up war-chants too please? It's objectively cool.
