Iranian protesters burn Trump LEGO statue at Khamenei funeral in Mashhad

During the state funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran, demonstrators ignited a life‑size LEGO‑style sculpture of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The figure, suspended from a crane, was set alight and fell in flames as crowds watched. Videos of the incident spread rapidly on social media. The funeral follows Khamenei’s death on 28 February 2026 in a joint U.S.–Israel airstrike that also killed several of his family members. The week‑long mourning ceremony attracted thousands, and many anti‑U.S. and anti‑Israel slogans and banners were displayed, including threats such as “WE WILL KILL TRUMP.” The protest underscores heightened anti‑American sentiment in Iran amid the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel.
