Iran's Supreme Leader's Funeral Sees Anti-US Chants, Successor's Absence
Massive crowds gathered in Tehran for the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" echoing. A poet at the event specifically called for US President Trump's death. Notably, Khamenei's successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, was absent from the funeral, though three of his sons were present. The event occurred amidst claims by US President Trump that Iran had accepted his conditions, potentially ending conflict.
