As hundreds of thousands gathered at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla for the second day of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s public funeral, an emcee openly called for the death of U.S. President Donald Trump. State poet Mohammad Rasouli took to the loudspeakers to brand Trump with severe language and ask the crowd, "Why is he still alive?", prompting thunderous cheers and aggressive chants of "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" The severe anti-Western outburst underscores a deep internal divide, occurring precisely while Iranian and U.S. diplomats engage in sensitive talks to execute a broader memorandum of understanding to end regional hostilities.
