"Revenge and death to America," Iranians chant at Ali Khamenei's funeral ceremony
Thousands of Iranians have gathered in a huge ceremony to bid a final farewell to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, chanting strong slogans such as "revenge" and "death to America and Israel."
Large crowds gathered during the funeral ceremony, with many participants holding flags and banners with politically charged messages, while the atmosphere was tense and dominated by calls against the US and Israel.
According to reports, the funeral ceremony was attended by a large number of citizens, officials and state representatives, in one of the largest ceremonies of its kind in Iranian history.
Iranian authorities have organized a large funeral procession, which is expected to last several days and include various cities in the country, while massive participation is expected in honor of the figure of the late leader.
The ceremony is also serving as a show of national strength and unity, at a time of high regional tensions, where Iran continues to face political and military clashes with its international adversaries.
Otherwise, Ali Khamenei was followed by his son, Mojtaba, who is not attending the funeral ceremony for security reasons, although he is reported to be seriously injured after the American-Israeli attacks in Tehran. /Telegraph/
