Iranian state media report millions of participants in the funeral ceremonies for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The report comes as the Islamic Republic concludes a multi-day period of national mourning.
Iranian state media are reporting millions of participants in the funeral events for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to a report from Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) on Monday morning. The figure, cited by Iranian outlets, far exceeds earlier independent estimates — Arab media outlet Al-Arabiya had estimated 200,000–300,000 attendees on the first day of the farewell ceremony in Tehran, as The Zioneer previously reported. The current report from Iranian sources has not been independently verified and does not specify a precise turnout number. The funeral ceremonies for Khamenei, who died at age 87, have been ongoing since late last week, with foreign delegations arriving in Tehran to pay respects. Iran has been observing a week of official state mourning for the late Supreme Leader.
