A funeral ceremony was held in the capital Tehran for Iran's former leader Ali Khamenei and his family members who lost their lives in US-Israeli attacks.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS FLOCKED
Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani led the funeral prayer offered in a special area at Imam Khomeini Musalla Mosque. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians, carrying flags, came to the ceremony area in the early morning and attended the funeral prayer. The funeral ceremony was attended by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, military and political officials, and religious figures.
CALL FOR ASSASSINATION OF TRUMP
Meanwhile, before the funeral prayer, calls for the assassination of US President Donald Trump were heard in a specially prepared area at the mosque. As the crowd chanted "Revenge for our holy leader!" an Iranian cleric spoke, saying, "If we do not kill his murderer, it will be our shame. If we do not kill his murderer, our clothes will become our shroud from now on. By your blood, killing Trump is our debt."
After a farewell ceremony is held on the streets of the capital tomorrow, Khamenei's body will be taken to the city of Qom.
