Poet Calls for Trump's Death at Khamenei Funeral | Charlotte News
Description
At Iran’s massive funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, poet Mohammad Rasouli stunned mourners by openly calling for U.S. President Donald Trump’s death — sparking chants of “Death to America!” — marking the first time such a demand was voiced at a state funeral. As Iran negotiates a ceasefire with the U.S. amid global energy turmoil, the event underscores the enduring power of Iran’s theocracy and the deepening rift with Washington, where Trump boasts of military victories — including against Iran — while Tehran leverages its Strait of Hormuz control to push for leverage. With Khamenei’s son set to ascend as supreme leader, tensions remain high as both sides brace for further escalation.
