‘Death to America' chants ring out at funeral for Iranian commanders killed in war as Trump warns US would bomb again
THE mass funeral for the Iranian commanders wiped out in the war has been plagued by "Death to America" chants and the burning of Israeli flags. Over a million people have reportedly lined the streets of Tehran just hours after Donald Trump warned he would bomb the evil regime again if they ever cross the US. 5 5 5 Twisted chants of "Death to America" could be heard ringing out across the event today as pro-Ayatollah mourners flocked to the public procession. The caskets of top military commanders and nuclear scientists all eliminated by Israel during the gruelling 12-day war were all hauled through the capital. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps chief General Hossein Salami - known as one of Iran's most powerful military leaders - and General Amir Ali Hajizadeh were among the bodies being laid to rest. Both were directly targeted by Israel for their role in developing Tehran's ballistic missile program. The two twisted generals were taken out within hours of the conflict kicking off on June 13. Some mourners even started to trample on the flags of Israel and the US as the caskets came past with others setting them alight. It comes amid a surging number of Iranians who are turning against the evil regime following the war. Many have voiced their issues with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was again nowhere to be seen at the funeral. The cowering 86-year-old hasn't been seen in person for almost two weeks now and is said to have been forced into a secret bunker amid threats on his life from both Trump and Israel. The US president has even claimed he saved the Ayatollah from an "ugly death" by ordering Israeli jets to turn around mid-air during an attack. Funeral-goers at one point pledged their allegiance to the twisted leader as they chanted: 'Oh noble Leader, we are ready!" Around 60 caskets were wheeled out with many being draped in the national colours of red, white and green. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi - now among the most high-profile names in Tehran's cabinet - led the procession. He made a rare admission as he said the number of lives lost in the short-lived conflict is 'hard and painful'. 5 5

'His love and positive outlook on life will be missed by all of us.'

Oromocto Funeral Home Advertisement The death of Cory's parents came nearly twelve years after the 'Glee' star passed away on July 13, 2013, after an accidental drug overdose at 31. Both his parents spoke out in the wake of the actor's shocking death, and his mom claimed that Cory turned to drugs because he 'wasn't ready for the Hollywood world.' 'Drugs were his way of checking out,' she told People in 2018. 'Cory didn't want to die. There is no doubt about that.' 4 FOX Image Collection via Getty Images Advertisement 'He called that world plastic,' she added at the time. 'It was too superficial for him.

'Cory was such a loving and genuine person. And the best part of his life was still ahead,' she said. 'He wanted a wife and kids. He would have made a beautiful father. He had accomplished so much. He was ready to step out of Hollywood and really live. He had so much to look forward to,' Cory's mom concluded. 4 Oromocto Funeral Home As for Cory's father, he said that the 'Glee' star 'should have known not to touch' the heroin that ultimately took his life. The coroner's report found that Cory died from a lethal combination of alcohol and heroin. 'It's just ripping my insides out and tearing me apart,' Joe told People shortly after his estranged son's death. 'I don't want to see any parent lose a child over heroin.' Justin Neill, Cory's former roommate, also spoke out about the late 'Glee' star's devastating death. Advertisement Neill said that Cory, who starred as high school quarterback Finn Hudson on 'Glee' at its inception in 2009, struggled with the fame the Fox musical comedy brought him. 'By the end of the second season, he didn't have his private time and he was probably one of the most private people I knew,' he told the Post in 2023. 'And now it's like everybody wants to know everything about him.' 'There did definitely get to a point where he was burned out,' Neill added.
