‘Death to Saudi & US’: Thousands of mourners attend funeral for Tehran attack victims
2017-06-09
[RT] Thousands have turned out to mourn the victims of the Tehran attacks, shouting "Death to Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
" and "Death to America." It comes after Iranian leaders accused Washington and Riyadh of supporting the attacks which killed 17 people earlier this week.

Crowds gathered on the streets of the Iranian capital to shout slogans against the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel on Friday, while reaching out to touch coffins wrapped in flags and covered in flowers.

Earlier on Friday, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the attacks would only increase Tehran's hatred against the US and its "stooges" including Saudi Arabia.

The attack "will not damage the Iranian nation's determination and the obvious result is nothing except an increase in hate for the governments of the United States and their stooges in the region like Saudi (Arabia)," he said ahead of the funeral, according to state media.

#6  We don't know that the attack "severely damaged the Mullahocracy's prestige". We do know it generated a lot of internal outrage (the wars throughout ME that Iran is involved in are not exactly popular with Iranians), and garnered sympathy from the useful idiots. We also know that well orchestrated suicide attacks against hard targets are not common.

The attack severely damaged the Mullahocracy's prestige, embarrassed the IRG, disrupted business in Tehran which surely cost the various crony capitalist types substantial amounts of money and ruined the day's events at the Khomenei mausoleum.

The false flag theory seems pretty thin.

#4  It's been "death to USA" for 30 years. So, I kinda, like the new version (even if I think it was a false flag operation - would ISIS attack heavily guarded places?)

#3   a terrorist attack from Balochistan about now would be just the thing to confuse the Mullah's "death to..." mantra

#2  Since ISIS claimed credit for the attacks how come they don't get 2 minutes of hate as well?
