Iran Day 20: **12-HOUR TEHRAN PROCESSION UNDERWAY** — coffin on truck to Mehrabad Airport; 'DEATH TO AMERICA' + 'DEATH TO ISRAEL' chants + **mourners threaten to KILL TRUMP + NETANYAHU**; hundreds of thousands attend; airspace + streets closed; Thu Mashhad burial
Day 94 / cycle Day 20. Iran's Day-3 funeral procession Mon: 12-HOUR PROCESSION through Tehran streets carrying flag-draped coffin on truck → Mehrabad International Airport. Chants of 'DEATH TO AMERICA' + 'DEATH TO ISRAEL' throughout. Mourners + signs call for the KILLING of both **US PRESIDENT TRUMP + Israeli PM NETANYAHU**. Hundreds of thousands attend. Airspace + streets shut down. Nationwide mourning ends **Thu with Mashhad burial** at Imam Reza shrine. Mojtaba absence continues.

Death-to-Trump-Netanyahu chants + explicit-kill-threats = escalation of rhetoric from 'avenge blood' Sat framing; still rhetorical not operational.
