Death to America
Death to America (Arabic: الموت لأمريكا) is a anti-American slogan. The slogan is most commonly used in Afghanistan,[1] Lebanon,[2] Yemen,[3] Iraq,[4][4] Pakistan,[5][6] Iran,[7] and Palestine.[8] The slogan was created by Iran out of anger to the U.S. government and Iranian officials have cleared up that they do not want to kill normal citizens of America.[9]
