Iranians drag coffin with Trump’s face on it through streets as WW3 fears soar | World | News
Pro-Iranian regime demonstrators in Kargil displayed coffins with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s faces on them as tensions boil ahead of an expected American strike. One coffin on the left is draped with the United States flag and has an image of President Trump attached to the front, a sign on the front says “GO TO HELL”.
Meanwhile, the right has the the Israeli flag and also has a printed face of Netanyahu on the front. It carries the same message: “GO TO HELL.” Symbolising dead body caskets footage shows the coffins being dragged through the streets against the backdrop of loud chanting in praise of Iran’s leadership.
Further down the road pro-Iranian protesters can be seen waving Indian and Iran flags with some holding large banners against Trump and the Israeli PM, reflecting regional political tensions.
The banners allege that the two have adopted antagonistic approaches toward Iran and the broader Muslim community.
The massive protest was from members of the Shia community in the Shia-majority Kargil district of Ladakh. The demonstrators showed their strong support for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and solidarity with the Iranian regime.
Participants said the demonstration aimed to communicate support for the Iranian population and reaffirm their ideological and religious connection to Iran’s Shia leadership.
Community leaders addressing the crowd described the protest as peaceful and focused on conveying a collective message.
“Our demonstration reflects solidarity with what we see as our religious and moral leadership. It is a non-violent expression of opinion,” an organiser stated.
It comes as the Iranian regime has killed thousands of protesters in a brutal crackdown, with images showing body bags lining the streets in some cities.
Trump has told Iranians to “keep protesting”, adding that “help is on the way.” It remains unclear what Mr Trump meant by saying that “help is on its way,” but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters yesterday (January 12) that airstrikes were among the “many, many options” the president was considering, while stressing that diplomacy “was always the first option.”
