DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — In a rare display of emotion from the typically reserved and measured supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cried openly Monday at the funeral of slain Gen. Qassem Soleimani, his most important military commander with whom he shared a deep bond. “Oh Allah, they are in need of your mercy, and you are exalted above punishing your servants,” Khamenei said in prayer as he stood over a flag-draped casket with the remains of Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq on Friday.

If you don't want more tears, back off and stop being a tyrannical, evil, terrorist butcher.

Now Stalin, that was a real leader - he never cried for anyone/anything. Only the left would gauge someone's leadership by their tears.

No worries Ali. General Salami was on his third virgin before all of his parts hit the ground.

I barely got through the introduction paragraph, when bile started forming in my mouth. This was too sickening to continue. Thanks for posting this piece of trash to let us see how pathetic the news services are.

Probably crying because he did not know where Gen Salami has stashed his fortune- stolen from the Iranian citizens! Salami's virgins are just goats, reportedly his favorite companions....

May any American who mourns the death of a terrorist palpably feel the errors of his/her ways.

Well that has certainly put a spring in my step! So he is deeply mourned! By millions! (Guffaw, snort.) All the better! With any luck this piece of filth Kahamenei will die of grief and join Saleimani in Hades. Now let's drop a few more bombs and rid the world of these miscreants once and for all.

Qassem Soleimani is dead - Inshallah. Obviously, either their god wanted him dead (Inshallah - as allah wills), or he is an impotent god.

Live by the sword, die by the Hellfire.
Iran's leaders are crying because they saw first hand how easy it is to turn a murdering jihadi into strawberry jelly and they know they are on the "52" list. Where is all that retaliation they have been promising us in the past few days? Having second thoughts, guys? Sore necks from looking over your shoulders, guys?

Isn’t that special. American liberals seem to have respected as him as much or more than the leader of Iran.

Bullies always cry when confronted/thwarted. Not only do they love cruelty to others, they are cowards.

Not quite AssPress, those are tears of fear because his chief henchman is dead and the mullahs are in total panic of an uprising that will result in their own deaths.

My thought is that those tears are just as genuine as Bill Clinton's tears at Ron Brown's funeral.

Surely Donald Trump wouldn't be so STUPID as to drop one on Ayatolla Khameini, would he ? Hey Mr. K go take a stroll around Bagdad somewhere near the US embassy. and shout DEATH TO AMERICA. Jackass.
