TEHRAN, Iran (AP) \u2014 A performer at the funeral for Iran\u2019s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/span> called for the death of U.S. President Donald Trump before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people Sunday in the capital, Tehran. <\/p>\n

The comment represents the first, direct call for Trump\u2019s death by an emcee at the funeral, which has seen posters and graffiti calling for the killing of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That\u2019s been a hard-line demand even as Tehran negotiates with the U.S. over a permanent end to the war that\u2019s disrupted global energy supplies. <\/p>\n

Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, drew calls of \u201cDeath to America!\u201d and \u201cDeath to Israel!\u201d <\/p>\n

Speaking to the crowd over loudspeakers at the funeral, Rasouli asked, referring to Trump: \u201cWhy is the most bastard man in the world still alive?\u201d<\/p>\n

The question drew cheers from the crowd. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

A far-larger crowd for the funeral than the day before attended the ceremony Sunday. Mourners dressed in black walked to the site, carrying banners and flags honoring Khamenei and also calling for Trump\u2019s killing as the American president gave a speech in Washington for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had tremendous success,\u201d Trump said, speaking of the American military. \u201cYou look at Venezuela, you look at Iran. We wiped it out, wiped out their military.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funeral for Khamenei, who ruled Iran for decades before he was killed at age 86<\/span> in a Feb. 28 airstrike in the opening moments of the Iran war<\/span>, could provide a boost for the country\u2019s theocracy and its new supreme leader, his son Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei<\/span>.<\/p>\n

That is important as Iran tries to leverage its hold on the Strait of Hormuz<\/span> in negotiations with the U.S. over a permanent end to the war and as concern lingers that Israel could attack again. <\/p>\n

The funeral was delayed as the war raged, and talks are on hold until it is over.<\/p>\n
