A massive banner reading \u201cWe Will Kill Trump\u201d was carried through the funeral procession for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday, the latest in a series of death threats against President Donald Trump displayed during the regime\u2019s state-organized ceremonies.<\/p>

The multi-day funeral ceremonies, which spanned several cities across Iran and Iraq, featured threatening and graphic signs and chants calling for Trump\u2019s assassination. Held under the slogan \u201cWe Must Rise,\u201d the Iranian regime sought to project national unity and strength following Khamenei\u2019s death.<\/p>

Among the displays seen throughout the funeral events were posters showing Trump with crosshairs over his face alongside the warning, \u201cThere Will Be Blood,\u201d giant banners promising rewards of up to $120 million for his assassination, and a black wall emblazoned with the hashtag \u201c#WeWillKillTrump.\u201d<\/p>

Calls for violence against Trump also came from the funeral stage itself. On July 5, Iranian poet Mohammad Rasouli, serving as the official master of ceremonies before prayer readings, asked the crowd over loudspeakers: \u201cWhy is the most bastard man in the world still alive? \u2026 Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.\u201d Rasouli then led attendees in a chant declaring, \u201cTrump\u2019s murder is our responsibility.\u201d<\/p>

Other signs targeted prominent Americans, including Israeli-American philanthropist Miriam Adelson, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, podcaster Laura Loomer, entrepreneur Peter Thiel, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Foundation for Defense of Democracies CEO Mark Dubowitz, beneath the warning: \u201cSooner or later your heads will roll.\u201d<\/p>

Khamenei, who ruled Iran for 37 years, was killed earlier this year in a joint U.S.-Israeli operation that targeted senior Iranian leadership. His death marked the most significant blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution and triggered vows of revenge from regime officials and supporters. His body reached its final resting place at the Shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>

Notably absent from the funeral proceedings was Khamenei\u2019s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei. According to reports, Mojtaba was injured and disfigured in the same strike that killed his father. He has not been seen or heard in public since he assumed power, though written statements attributed to him have been released.<\/p>

Hinkle, who has built a following defending authoritarian governments and Iranian-backed groups, posted videos from Tehran celebrating the regime and meeting with senior Iranian officials.<\/p>

In another video, Hinkle stood on a stage waving a red flag \u2014 a symbol often associated with calls for vengeance in Shiite Islam \u2014 while leading chants of \u201cDown with Zionists.\u201d<\/p>
