Iranian reports indicate that millions of Shia worshippers have surrounded the Musalla prayer complex in Tehran, where the funeral prayer (ashkaba) for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is being held. The massive crowd follows the earlier arrival of mourners at the site.
According to Iranian reports, the prayer complex (Musalla) in Tehran is now surrounded by millions of Shia worshippers attending the funeral prayer (ashkaba) for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This follows the earlier arrival of crowds, as reported by The Zioneer at 08:23 Jerusalem, when mourners gathered for the prayer and chanted for revenge.
The scale of the turnout reflects the mass mobilization organized by the Iranian regime, which had prepared for tens of millions of mourners over the multi-day funeral ceremonies. The prayer at the Musalla is a key stage before the body is transported to Mashhad for burial, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
The reports come from Iranian sources and have not been independently verified. The exact number of attendees remains unconfirmed, with estimates ranging from millions to tens of millions.
