This is a lie. The chant is literally "Death to X," there is no idiom whatsoever. The only human targets I have ever heard for this chant is the US and some of its allies (KSA, UK), the IR's leader, and some generic terms for

As an Iranian, you're quite uninformed here. The Islamic Republic does a lot of small-scale aggression (e.g., they just confiscated a Korean ship on free waters), and they lead many proxy militias. They also pursue nuclear weapons. The

Energy "waste" is in the eye of the beholder. The energy is doing useful work by making the system more secure (at a rough rate of 50%, which is actually rather efficient as energy consumption goes). Of course, having some better
