Fire trucks were brought in to spray water on mourners along the funeral route in Tehran, according to Iranian Telegram channels. The measure appeared aimed at cooling crowds preparing for the funeral of the late Supreme Leader.
Iranian Telegram channels report that firefighting trucks were deployed to spray water on mourners along the funeral route for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Monday. The measure appears aimed at cooling the large crowds attending the ceremonies; it is unclear if the spraying is also linked to crowd-control or dust-suppression.
As The Zioneer reported earlier on Monday, the regime altered the funeral route at the last moment due to massive turnout, airlifting Khamenei's coffin over the crowds. Metro stations near the event reportedly collapsed under the weight of the crowd. The water-truck deployment suggests continued logistical adjustments for the large-scale event.
No official Iranian state media confirmation was immediately available for the water-spraying report, which comes from a desk-reviewed report.
