The Trump administration continued its bombing of Iran for a third day on Thursday, striking the rail lines to Mashhad, as mourners buried Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader assassinated by US and Israeli forces on the first day of the war.

The strikes delayed the burial by eight hours, the Telegraph reported Thursday. Khamenei was laid to rest at the shrine of Imam Reza in the city of his birth, at the end of six days of funeral processions through Iran and Iraq that Iranian state media said drew up to 43 million people. Mourners carried red flags symbolizing revenge and banners reading, “We Will Kill Trump.”

The turnout demonstrated the failure of the American effort to overthrow the Iranian government and subjugate the country by force.

      Maybe they can bomb the White House in retaliation. The only suitable response possible.

        It’s a classic pump and dump scam, the geopolitical mafia get rich while undesirables die, everybody (who matters) wins!

        How long can this go on before the strain on the economy makes it snap in half?

        I’d like to short the economy as a whole. How do you do that?
