01 · THE DISPATCH

The vehicle carrying the coffin of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei also bears family members killed alongside him, according to N12 correspondent Sapir Lipkin, who is reporting from Tehran. The footage shows the vehicle moving through massive crowds of mourners. This is the latest update in the funeral's coverage.

On Sunday at 12:15 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the funeral procession had begun with organizers expecting 20 million participants. Earlier that day, conflicting crowd estimates emerged: an AI analysis estimated 250,000 attendees at the funeral prayer, while an Iranian channel claimed over 9 million. Later, video surfaced of Khamenei's coffin being driven through crowds. This morning (Monday), at 08:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported mourners waving revenge signs; at 08:29 Jerusalem, additional video of the coffin was published. The current report adds that the vehicle carries family members.

As The Zioneer reported on Saturday (Jul 4, 07:38 Jerusalem), documentation from Tehran showed coffins of Khamenei and family members killed with him. The funeral has drawn large crowds amid calls for revenge.

The report remains single-source, based on Lipkin's account, and has not been independently confirmed. The identities of all family members killed with Khamenei have not been fully detailed.
