Iran’s Massive Khamenei Funeral | Vancouver News

Iran is staging an unprecedented, week-long funeral for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a February attack by U.S. and Israeli forces, drawing millions expected to flood Tehran and holy cities to display the Islamic Republic’s resilience. With his son Mojtaba—also wounded in the attack—possibly absent, the state has declared a three-day holiday and ramped up security as coffins draped in national flags are shown on state TV. The ceremonies, now aligned with the solemn Islamic month of Muharram, draw global attention, with delegations from China, Russia, India, and allied militias attending. As Khamenei’s legacy of anti-Israel and anti-U.S. policy looms large, the scale of the event stirs fears of crowd chaos, echoing past tragedies at the funerals of Khomeini and Soleimani.
