Iranians flock to week-long funeral rites for Khamenei
Mourners in Tehran attended week-long funeral ceremonies for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, featuring the national anthem, religious eulogies, and Koran readings. Iran is staging mass processions to demonstrate public devotion to the Islamic Republic's theocratic state and revolutionary zeal, following the end of Khamenei's 37-year leadership due to a U.S. and Israel airstrike in February.
