Masih Alinejad calls Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral a terrorist summit

from Today Explained · host Today Explained

Writing for The Free Press, Alinejad highlighted that organizers used the funeral to broadcast aggressive geopolitical messages. As regional delegations approached the coffin, organizers recited weaponized Quranic verses tailored to push regional partners into conflict—praising Hamas, assuring Hezbollah, and demanding that countries like Qatar "repent". She emphasized that the state-televised "seas of mourners" are highly controlled propaganda pieces designed to project regional strength and national unity. In reality, she noted receiving hundreds of messages from citizens inside Iran who are not grieving, but are deeply polarized and ready for political change. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
