Massive crowds are gathering in Iran to mourn the passing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, beginning days of funeral ceremonies. Iranian authorities expect 15 to 20 million mourners in Tehran alone over the next three days. The event is intended as a demonstration of power directed towards Iran’s adversaries. Khamenei led the country for over three decades, and his death marks a significant moment in Iranian history. The ceremonies represent a national outpouring of grief and a display of loyalty to the Islamic Republic. These extensive tributes underscore Khamenei’s long-standing influence and the scale of his legacy within Iran. The funeral processions are expected to continue for several days as the nation pays its respects.
