The funeral for Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who died in an airstrike by the United States and Israel, began on the 4th (local time). As millions of Iranians gathered in the capital Tehran, slogans such as “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” erupted everywhere. According to Iranian state media, Khamenei’s remains were transported to Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosallah the day before. The funeral will be held one week from this day. Millions of Iranians flocked to Tehran to attend the funeral. Khamenei, who died at the age of 86, was assassinated on February 28 in a joint operation between the United States and Israel. Iran originally planned to hold Khamenei's funeral in March, but postponed it as the war continued. On this day, in downtown Tehran, thousands of citizens wearing black clothes, meaning mourning clothes, were seen walking along the highway to the event site. The road was blocked for several kilometers by security forces and concrete barricades. Mourners waved Iranian flags. Some are Khamenei and his son and successor.
