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.”

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    They do poetry differently in Iran.

    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.

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