Iran Mourns Khamenei Amid Global Tensions | Dublin News

Iran is holding a massive, emotionally charged funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a February airstrike that ignited war with the U.S. and Israel. His casket, adorned with his black turban and displayed above family members’ remains, draws millions in Tehran — a turnout officials hope will bolster their political stance amid tense negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. The funeral, timed for July 4th — America’s Independence Day — has sparked chants of “Death to America,” while Trump mocked Iran’s “week off for a funeral.” Khamenei’s body will tour Iran and Iraq, and his son, expected to succeed him, may or may not attend. Iran’s military warns the U.S. and Israel to avoid mistakes in the coming days.
