Iran Begins Funeral Ceremonies for Slain Supreme Leader Khamenei
Iran has started multi-day public funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with mourners gathering in Tehran and chanting for revenge.
Iran officially commenced several days of public funeral ceremonies on Saturday for the slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Thousands of mourners gathered at the Grand Mosalla prayer complex in Tehran to pay their respects. During the event, attendees beat their chests and chanted for revenge, signaling heightened emotional tensions in the country.
The development comes amid an already volatile geopolitical landscape in the Middle East. The death of the long-serving Supreme Leader and the public calls for retaliation could further strain regional stability and impact global markets, particularly crude oil prices and safe-haven assets.
