Tehran Funeral Crowd Chants Death to Israel

Crowds at Ali Khamenei's Grand Mosalla funeral on Saturday morning chanted "Death to America," "Death to Israel" and calls for revenge. Khamenei's casket and relatives' coffins were displayed in Tehran after his February 28 killing in US-Israeli strikes, with the funeral route planned through Tehran, Qom, Najaf, Karbala and Mashhad. Iran is using the turnout while negotiating over Hormuz and fearing another Israeli strike. The scene shows why Israel treats Tehran's slogans and terror network as strategic threats, not theater.
