Thousands of Iranians gathered in Tehran on Saturday to mourn Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, following reports of his death in late February due to alleged US-Israeli attacks. The state funeral is a six-day event, with three days dedicated to mourning in the capital city. Security was reportedly tight during the public display of grief. Details surrounding the circumstances of Khamenei’s death remain limited, though state media attributes it to the aforementioned attacks. The funeral processions allow citizens to pay their respects to the long-serving religious leader. The extended mourning period signals the significance of Khamenei’s role in Iranian politics and society.
