  The chant, as officially translated by the government itself [1] means "Down with the USA". "Death to" is a purposeful (literal) mistranslation to make it sound like it's a genocidal statement. 1 e.g. https://foreignpolicy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/iran-tehran-mural-us-embassy-2019-GettyImages-1138899217.jpg https://foreignpolicy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/iran-te...

    Is that to say the Islamic Republic of Iran don't necessarily want to eradicate the USA but merely want to see its downfall? I don't have much sympathy for that; it's not like there's some more liberal, more democratic, alternative superpower waiting in the wings.
