A performer at the funeral for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for the death of U.S.

As hundreds of thousands of mourners turn out onto the streets of Tehran, US President Donald Trump said he was surprised to see Iranians crying, suggesting they were “fake tears”.

The funeral for the late Ayatollah was held on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence - a clear move to upset President Donald Trump
