Large crowds have gathered before the casket of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran this morning, Saturday, chanting slogans calling for revenge, according to reports from the scene.
This morning (Saturday, July 4), large crowds gathered before the casket of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran, with reports indicating chants calling for revenge. The scene unfolds during the ongoing funeral proceedings, which have drawn millions of mourners over the past week.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, June 30, at 12:46 Jerusalem, the funeral ceremony began in Tehran, with thousands of mourners filing past the casket. Later reports on the same day noted weeping and wailing, with President Masoud Pezeshkian and an IRGC general seen in tears. A steady stream of foreign delegations arrived in the capital, including representatives from Hezbollah, the Taliban, and other pro-Iranian militias, as The Zioneer documented in multiple dispatches. By Thursday, July 2, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called on Iranians to 'sound the cry for blood revenge to the world,' as The Zioneer reported.
The current gathering of masses chanting for revenge appears to be a direct response to that call, underscoring the continued public outpouring of emotion and political mobilization among supporters of the late leader. The week of official mourning has drawn international delegations, including from China, Russia, and Arab states, as The Zioneer has reported.
Details on the exact size of the crowd and the specific chants remain unconfirmed.
