Khamenei's Sons Arrived Without Mojtaba, Calls to Kill Trump: 'Why Is That Bastard Still Alive?'

Assessment

A funeral ceremony for Iran's supreme leader has become a stage for calls to kill the U.S. president, with crowds chanting traditional anti-American and anti-Israel slogans. The absence of Mojtaba Khamenei, widely seen as a potential successor, adds internal succession tension to the public spectacle of grief and defiance. Meanwhile, despite U.S. promises to support regime opponents, a crackdown has intensified, highlighting the gap between American rhetoric and on-the-ground reality for dissidents. The key detail to watch is whether Mojtaba's absence signals a power struggle within the leadership.
