Death to Khamenei” Chants Erupt in Iran Cemetery Before Gunfire — Chaos in Ilam Province

Post by : Bianca Qureshi

Eyewitness footage captured a tense moment at a cemetery in Abdanan, located in Iran’s Ilam province, where protesters gathered for the 40‑day memorial of those killed during last year’s nationwide crackdown. Demonstrators were heard chanting “Death to Khamenei” as the event unfolded.

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the area, causing panic as the crowd scattered. Witnesses said the sound resembled gunfire. The memorial was among several events recently targeted by authorities, who have sought to suppress such gatherings amid ongoing unrest and widespread public anger over the government’s response to last year’s protests.

Security forces have been active in multiple cities, attempting to disperse memorials and demonstrations, as tensions across the country remain high.
