Tehran Funeral Crowd Chants Death to Israel
Ynet updated its Tehran funeral report Saturday morning, and Times of India published at 08:47 IST, that crowds at Ali Khamenei's Grand Mosalla funeral chanted "Death to America," "Death to Israel" and calls for revenge. Ynet and Times of India report that 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; AP also reports the caskets at Grand Mosalla. AP says 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.
