The inflammatory remarks and displays occurred as Trump had previously suggested the U.S. could "liquidate" Iran's leadership with "one shot." The funeral procession itself was expected to be one of the largest public gatherings in Iran's modern history, drawing delegations from scores of countries, including Russia, China, and India.

Why shouldn't we kill the one who killed my Imam and my Leader? It is a disgrace for us if we do not kill your killer.
