Shiite Muslims mark holy day of Ashoura after months of war in Iran and Lebanon
Shiite Muslims worldwide observed Ashoura, a holy day commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, amid ongoing wars in Iran and Lebanon. The day follows months of conflict, including an Israeli airstrike that killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah-led battles in Lebanon, with Ashoura coinciding with Khamenei's funeral and efforts by displaced Lebanese to return home.
