Ali Khamenei’s six-day funeral expected to draw millions in Iran

Millions of Iranians are preparing for a six-day funeral for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed during the initial US-Israeli attacks in February. The massive event, spanning five cities including Tehran, aims to demonstrate national power, resilience, and resistance. This epic display of social cohesion and mourning coincides with the 250th anniversary of US Independence Day, adding significant political symbolism to the ceremonies as police and army vans secure the city for the crowds.
