01 · THE DISPATCH

An Iranian the source has claimed that the same snipers who fired on protesters during the January demonstrations in Iran are now providing security at the funeral ceremonies of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The channel, which regularly covers Iranian news, did not provide evidence for the claim. The funeral, which began last week, has drawn millions of mourners to Tehran and other cities, accompanied by hardline rhetoric and calls for revenge against Israel and the United States, as The Zioneer has reported. The claim remains unverified and based on a single source.
