Iran's Mourning Turns to Vengeance | US News

Tens of thousands flooded Tehran’s streets for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral, a massive show of clerical power amid a week of mourning. Crowds hurled stones at a Trump billboard, burned U.S. and British flags, and chanted vengeance — some even held signs demanding “KILL TRUMP” or depicted Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Netanyahu with gun sights and the ominous warning “There will be blood.” The mourning began last Friday for Khamenei and four family members, including his son Mojtaba, who remains unseen since the Feb. 28 conflict. Khamenei’s body will travel to Qom, two Iraqi cities, and finally Mashhad for burial. Despite Trump’s claims of victory, his goals of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program and regime change remain unmet — and he blamed the funeral for delaying peace talks. Israel’s defense minister declared Khamenei was killed for pursuing attacks on Israel, vowing any future Iranian leader with similar ambitions will face the same fate.
