The burial of assassinated Iranian commander General Qassem Soleimani has been postponed due to a stampede which erupted on Tuesday during the funeral procession, state media reported.
Iranians poured into the streets of Soleimani’s hometown of Kerman on Tuesday to pay their final respects. Photographs of the funeral procession show throngs of mourners dressed in black. Some carried flags and portraits of the slain Quds Force leader as they slowly moved through the town. Local media estimated that several million people attended the funeral.

However, the huge turnout tragically led to a stampede that killed 40 people and injured 213 others, state television said. Graphic videos on social media purportedly show trampled bodies lying on the street. The crowds forced authorities to postpone Soleimani’s burial, the semi-official ISNA, but the news agency did not specify how long the delay would be.

Soleimani was killed by a US drone strike in Baghdad last week, prompting several days of mourning in Iran. A funeral ceremony in Tehran, held on Monday, reportedly drew more than a million people, but no serious injuries or deaths were reported.
THE UNITED SATANS OF AMERICA WILL PAY A HEAVY PRICE

Unity of Middle Eastern nations has been impossible for many decades , and thanks to Trumps ’30 D’ chess prowess, he seems to be the catalyst of Middle Eastern unity against the rapacious West, including the Zionist squatters in Israel.
Bravo Donald Trump. Its a Nobel Peace Prize for you. :)
Yeah I love Unity Brother…is a Powerful Enemy to Filthy Elites…..hehehe
At least Trump won’t have to worry about this when he’s dead (lol). His funereal will be attended by around 20 people at max. His supporters will be too lazy to get out of their homes, just couldn’t bothered. Oh and in before some dumbass Amer comes around saying how ALL these people are “forced to attend” lmao. Cuz you know, Iran has like a million and a half police officers just tasked to threaten people to attend mass meetings and funerals.
Surely the Muslims and Arabs brothers has been deeply hurt by USANATO lawlessness and robbing from own oil and label as terrorists in their own mother land.The Muslims and Arabs have United as never before to conquer seven head snakes of G7.
Actually the majority of Muslims and Arabs never liked Iran and no more than 10% of all Muslims are Shias
Says the white dude.
It’s your perception thank you.
Their dont like Iran regime because of advance skills that Iranians have.World best scientists from Soviet Union has transferred all their skills to Iran military and medical world.Turkey,Saudi Arabia Kuwait,UAE and Qatar strong friendship with USA,Britain and France exist out of providing oil to them and financing terrorism.
The M16 and CIA together with Turkey,Saudi Arabia,UAE,Qatar Britain France and USA gaol is to oppress and suppress overthrow all resistant countries like Iraq,Syria Iran,Libya and Egypt. Iraq has been disrupted,Libya and Egypt. The king USANATO plan with puppet oil exploiters puppets Turkey Saudi,UAE,Qatar and Kuwait plan of overthrowing Iran,Syria,Venezuela has been foiled by Iran,Hisbollah,PMU,Russia and Al Aqsas brigade of Arafat.Saudi and puppets oil wells are seriously depleting while the is new untouched fields in resistance countries. Killing of Iranians General was plan by Satanyahu,Pompeo,Bolton and Israeli lobby in USA.Because israel every day attack on Kataib Hisbollah and Iranian targets has failed and actually resulted in USA embassy attack.
Trump is just a remote control foolish old outdated idiot.Pompeo rape and abuse Trump blind and stupidness just to led him in trap to removed forcefully from Whitehouse.
just waiting for the 80m$ bounty to kick in and see the burial rites of trump – bleak and meager attendance while mrs trump collects the 80m$ and then skedaddles into the sunset, hollywood style. what more can you ask for. 80m$ will attract a few serious working professionals who will have no trouble locating the subject and just wait for the right moment – I’d say that trump is likely to be shot at in a short while and I can only wish the professional best of luck and trump and his entourage the worst of luck. think trump, ivanka and jared kushner 6 feet under in one cool sweep of a gun. what more can you wish for.
Pompous Pompeo and John Bolton as well please, Verner :)
