Banners calling for the assassination of US President Donald Trump have continued to appear en masse during the state funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike earlier this year.

A large banner reading “We will kill Trump” was held by mourners at a ceremony in Mashhad, the holy city where Khamenei is being buried today following six days of processions and ceremonies across Iran and Iraq. Footage shared by the Iranian state-linked Tasnim News Agency showed the banner being carried during the funeral procession in Tehran on Monday, with the agency describing mourners as vowing retribution for Khamenei’s death.

Another banner bearing the same slogan was hung overnight on a hotel building in Mashhad, according to a post shared by the account Diwan, which showed a banner in English reading simply, “We will kill Trump.”

A similar banner had already been seen among mourners in Tehran earlier in the week, with one social media post captioning the footage, “From Mashhad to the whole world: we will kill Trump.”

Speaking after the conclusion of the NATO summit on Wednesday, Trump acknowledged that he is the primary target of Iranian threats. “I receive threats constantly. I’m number one on their list,” he said.

Boos for Pezeshkian and Araghchi

The funeral has also exposed deep divisions within Iran’s regime and society. In recent days, crowds have been seen booing, verbally abusing and even physically confronting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, accusing both men of failing to take a hard enough line against Washington. Some shouted that the two men were traitors who deserved to die, a reference to the memorandum of understanding Araghchi and Pezeshkian signed with the United States.

One video circulating online, shared by the account Shirley, showed the two officials being jostled by members of the crowd, with a caption mocking their treatment by the public. Another clip, posted by the Association Femme Azadi, showed Araghchi being confronted by chanting government supporters calling him a traitor to the homeland.

Supporters of the Iranian government have pushed back against the criticism. One user, posting under the name Hadi Mohammadi, argued that rival political figures, including former presidents Hassan Rouhani and Mohammad Khatami and former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, were responsible for stoking division around the funeral in order to discredit it.

Separately, footage shared by another user showed a crowd throwing objects at Araghchi during one of the ceremonies. The post described a stone thrown at the foreign minister as potentially life-threatening, calling it a terrorist act rather than a mere insult, and urged Iran’s judiciary to identify and prosecute those responsible.
