Beside the coffin of the assassinated former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei at a packed prayer hall in Tehran on Sunday there were calls for the killing of Donald Trump.

The funeral prayers for the former supreme leader and four other family members created a political spectacle at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla that melded grief with calls for revenge.

“From now on the shroud is our garment. I swear by your blood; Trump’s murder is our responsibility,” Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, said at a poetry recitation immediately before the prayer reading at the farewell ceremony. He asked: “Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive? The world is no longer a good place for Trump. Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.”

America: Bombs a school

Americans: Why would they be saying Death to America?

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty much.

[-] LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'd imagine most Americans would have my same reaction.

Please do. Would make the world a better place.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 weeks ago

I wish them the best of luck.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

We will gladly send him for a prisoner exchange.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 weeks ago

Saying the out loud part out loud.

Lmao at "...the most bastard man..."

[-] itsjustachairmary@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

BECAUSE DENNIS IS A BASTARD MAN

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

This is actually Iran taking the high road. They aren't threatening women, children, or even American soldiers. Only America's talking asshole.

USA outclassed again by a backwards theocratic autocracy.

[-] Tiral@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, they're actually threatening a man and not a child or woman for once. Total high road.

[-] Identikit@leminal.space 14 points 2 weeks ago

Same man who said he’d murder the entire population on social media.

Can’t play high road when the other person’s road is underground.

[-] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

His road is so low Satan wants him arrested for trespassing

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

No objections here. But prolly best to make it look like an accident or natural causes.

[-] Radical_Socialist_t00t@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

So? There's call for killing Trump right here in canada.

They should host the correspondant dinner in a school maybe then shit'd get done.

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I think we should return to an era of leader on leader violence that leaves the rest of us out of it

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Since when has that ever been a thing?

[-] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

Seems fair.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, that's presumably why heads of state don't go about assassinating other heads of state in the first place. Once you open that can of worms, what do you expect.

Even Chess rules tell you to not do that... And it is quite telling that that rule was indeed added by the Persians... Heed the fucking ancient wisdom you philistine fucks.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That quote is about maps FYI

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Turnabout is fair play

[-] Snowies@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

People like Donald John Trump make me hope Hell is real.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

There's no type of infinite existence that wouldn't become hell.

[-] Snowies@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah the Good Place was a pretty good show I know, but let me have my moment. I’m enjoying the image in my head.

[-] harcesz@szmer.info 8 points 2 weeks ago

Where's the gofundme?

[-] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't heard anyone arguing against it...

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Put up or shut up, cowards! You ain't gonna the guts to do something this big. You won't even try.

😊

[-] sevenoverthree@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Him, his family, the top donors and VC's he has enriched himself with.

“From now on the shroud is our garment. I swear by your blood; Trump’s murder is our responsibility,” Mohammad Rasouli, a poet

They do poetry differently in Iran.

[-] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

If they pulled it off it'd be a real weird vibe. On one hand there will be parades, parties and celebration. On the other hand the Republicans are still in power so Lord knows what they'd do with President eye liner in response.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Master167@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not while he's in office. I don't want him to be idolized by his followers. Wait until the impeachment and removal from office has happened next year.

For the Americans, here. Go register to Vote & get your neighbor to register too.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Even if Dems somehow take the house and flip a few senator votes, they still don't have the numbers for impeachment and removal.

[-] Master167@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

One may hope some R's see the light.

Republicans:

I have zero faith in those bastards. In fact, I have faith that they will always do the wrong thing.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

You can't vote your way out of fascism.

[-] pazuzuzu@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hungary might disagree

Can we get a few poets in the US come up with straight up war-chants too please? It's objectively cool.
