Pro-Iranian regime demonstrators in Kargil displayed coffins with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's faces on them as tensions boil ahead of an expected American strike. One coffin on the left is draped with the United States flag and has an image of President Trump attached to the front, a sign on the front says "GO TO HELL".

Meanwhile, the right has the the Israeli flag and also has a printed face of Netanyahu on the front. It carries the same message: “GO TO HELL." Symbolising dead body caskets footage shows the coffins being dragged through the streets against the backdrop of loud chanting in praise of Iran’s leadership.

Further down the road pro-Iranian protesters can be seen waving Indian and Iran flags with some holding large banners against Trump and the Israeli PM, reflecting regional political tensions.

The massive protest was from members of the Shia community in the Shia-majority Kargil district of Ladakh. The demonstrators showed their strong support for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and solidarity with the Iranian regime.
