Aerial footage from the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran shows millions of participants, according to a report by Ghanem Ibrahim. The report highlights the massive turnout amid the ongoing funeral ceremonies.
Aerial footage released Monday afternoon, attributed to a report by Ghanem Ibrahim, shows millions of participants at the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran. The footage provides visual confirmation of the massive turnout that had been reported by Iranian state media and unverified sources earlier in the day.
At 09:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian state media claimed millions were participating in the funeral ceremonies, citing Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). At the same time, the desk reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian marched in the funeral procession, and an unverified estimate also put the crowd at millions. The new aerial footage, while from a single source, aligns with those earlier accounts.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the regime altered the funeral route at the last moment, airlifting Khamenei’s coffin over the crowds after the planned route was overwhelmed by the turnout. Separately, students at Payam-e-Noor University in Shahriar released white balloons during the funeral in memory of victims of past protests, as reported by Iranian Telegram channels.
The report is based on a single source and has not been independently verified. The exact number of participants remains an estimate, and the regime’s tight control of information continues to limit independent confirmation.
