Iran Mourns Airstrike Victims Amid 'Death to America' Chants

Iran recently held a state funeral for top military commanders and nuclear scientists killed during a conflict with Israel, with mass crowds chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel," though some outlets like Reuters omitted reporting these slogans. The funeral included high-ranking figures such as Major General Mohammad Bagheri and Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami, alongside civilians including women and children. The conflict was marked by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, with both Israel and Iran claiming victory; U.S. President Trump criticized Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's victory claims and stated he had previously thwarted efforts to kill him. In Israel, opposition leader Yair Golan highlighted internal threats as more existential than Iran, following incidents where Israeli settlers violently attacked IDF soldiers near Jerusalem, underscoring deep societal divisions. The situation remains tense with ongoing military, political, and social challenges affecting regional stability.
